Alef Aeronautics, a California-based startup, has received approval to start testing its 'Model A' flying car from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Here’s a look at what the company calls the 'world’s first real flying car.'

The car must meetbefore consumers can entertain the possibility of every day use, experts say. Alef aims to get its cars in the air by 2025.

"I think we’re very far away from regular normal use, but the fact that we're actually talking about it, is actually mind blowing," senior consultant of Enterprise Canada Lucas Meyer told CTV’s The Debate with Mike Le Couteur on Tuesday. Alef’s flying car has a price tag of US$300,000 and a range of 175 kilometres. The company is currently taking pre-orders for the car on its website. The vehicle is capable of taking off and landing vertically, as well as flying above traffic and on roads.

Alef says it hopes to solve issues of traffic congestion by innovating the next best commute with its flying car.
