The future is nowish. Popular automakers — including BMW & Toyota — are racing to get their new flying car models on the market with a new age of travel on the precipice of taking off. The new category of aircraft has been termed eVTOL — which is an acronym for “electric vertical take-off and landing,” in reference to the way the vehicles are able to fly.
eVTOLs take off and land vertically and have the ability to hover — making them more akin to helicopters than cars or planes.
There is a wide range of concepts presented by the different companies with each modeling their own version of the future of air travel.
