It is a familiar scene in science fiction: avoiding traffic by taking to the skies in your car.
Now a Dutch company thinks it is close to making that a reality. Its flying car is allowed to drive on roads, and now they are trying to be cleared for takeoff.
Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Raamsdonksveer on how dozens of customers have already paid half of $1m in the hopes of soon getting off the ground.

#Netherlands
Flying car has existed for over 50 years but held back for obvious reasons…
Very obvious. People don’t even know how to drive on the road properly and countries want to make flying cars ?? Smh !!
Doesn’t look like a car though
That is not good design, flying car must be flying car, I knew of the good design , much better and very simple, and 80% of the physical body is retained..
Looks clunky
It’s Helicopter !!!! Flying cars should fly using Anti Gravity Technology.
I just want to know this car have wings or helicopter type.
Will wait for China to make a cheaper one.
wow surprise so heard that
Good luck James Bond 👹
Fu
How many times have we seen start-ups with far, far better designs that this monstrosity over the last 50 years? And all of them when absolutely nowhere.
This one will certainly go nowhere,.no one is going to be interested in that thing. It’s completely impractical.
In my country, they just dreaming, but we do have transparent tunnel
Hello, sorry, what country are you from? And the tunnel you say, I guess it’s a joke, right? haha😬
I’ll prefer the Chinese copy under 250$
Car mix airplane no really flying car..😅
There will be more disaster. Car will fall down
Hey in 2018, our gov in Malaysia had this kind of initiative, like the rest of Malaysians, we thought the project is about flying car but apparently the pigs are flying, along with that former minister.
Muslim youngsters! Take inspiration & create your own legacy!
Better idea. The riches need to leave the road for poor. 👍👍
We humen are busy inventing flying cars but know one thing that we are flying out of time we must repent and pray to be save by our LORD JESUS CHRIST Amen
I want to invest. How much do you want?
Imagine the idiots that you see on the road start flying as well…
Means i can fly wd my girlfriend in a car..😀😀
i was literally thinking about flyings cars earlier and YouTube recommended me this now…. 😳
😅😅😅😂
Watch “Total Recall” film, flying cars will be all over the place in the year 4020
The only good news Al Jazeera can deliver.. except of toxicity 😂😂😂😂
While in China. We have done this 5yrs ago
I don’t need a flying car.
I just wear a pair of flying jet shoes and jet gloves… simple and world’s most smallest compact engine thrust ….year 2022 prototype compact design. Not for SALE but strictly for personal self use only….
the Netherlands has some the lamest looking inventions in history… this won’t go anywhere , ugly ugly ugly flying cars won’t succeed.. i sell cars , people will buy a beautiful junk bucket over a excellent ugly car ANYDAY OF THE WEEK, even the ugly car that drives amazing is half the price they still will prefer the pretty car with issues.
I thought we accepted that we didnt want any flying cars
Didn’t Al Jazeera’s building get bombed this morning. I’m sure the now Michael Jackson looking Al Gore shed a tear as he realized insurance means nothing in Gaza.
bruuhhh….. You need to be very skilled.
To take off you need a lot of speed
This is what is needed in Israel right now
Such a ridiculous product.
Minimal range in every mode. So great for a mode of transport.
Thankfully I will probably be dead when theses things become popular
Lol no take off footage flying in air..then do you have to fly drive solo cause of weight issues
Al-Jazeera, learn how to dodge flying bomb💣 🔥😂
This company is public ??
Several countries are racing in producing the safest and most economical flying car, japan s. korea and china are very secretive in their project while other countries team up to catch up and fast track the process like philippines and australia, there’s also a team up between malaysia and turkey in producing both super car and flying car.
Loos like boat
They say it’s a car
And it is flying
Everyone said that’s a fly car
But what i see is just a mini copter
Support israel
Only with vaccin, ha ha ha hi
It makes no sense for so costlier flying cars when they are not available to all. It’s bullshit
So it’s a helicopter on wheels….so much for the innovation.
Sir ji.
Ye.. Flying cari. India🇮🇳. Me.. Ban rahi.. Hai…. Gujarat . Ke.. Rajkot. Shahar.. Me.. Ji.. 👍🙏🙏🙏
Now there’s, drone laws. Next is, flying car laws 🤣
That might be able to fly. But its land performance wont be near to 4 wheel cars. Perhaps that’d be similar to reliant regal cars.
Flying cars will never be allowed like regular cars it’s too much of a safety issue. Bombing buildings will be much easier. We already have helicopters, planes, mini planes. They are your flying cars.
Soo they will charge you air tax
I think it’s mad stuff
Why didn’t Tesla do something similar?
Bully market
The Real Flubber .. 90s kids would know .
1900: in 2020 we have flying
2020: ya this exist but still expensive
James May flew something similar. Sorry lads it was done a long time ago.
Just the noise levels alone will assure flying cars will never be a allowed to fly anywhere near public places, let alone the safety concerns it imposes and unless we see some new battery technology weight issues will surely put an end to flying cars when countries starts banning the sale of fossil fuel cars in a decade or so. We’ll most likely see something someday, but we’re still decades away at best.
Proud to be Dutch! 🇳🇱
Joris….what a hater
Why is Doraemon seeming so real?
One of the most dangerous things to do is driving. Flying is an entirely different level!
i like her. she is good at her job ❤️
Third option: BOAT
वाह
flying car but only flying in simulation.
United States had some flying cars years ago
no actual demo?
That’s a helicopter
First self drive car has to be the norm before this can a reality.. I’ll give it another 30 years from today
So besides your driver’s licence…you’ll need a pilot’s licence too…they took the Flying Dutchman a bit literally
would be a great getaway car.(In theory)
Flying car? More like a drivable helicopter.
Is crappy why not fly up directly not like an airplane but like a fighter yet that levitate upwards
with this you dont need a degree to be a pilot 😆
Is this fly
If the Dutch can’t control the sea level, they create flying cars
If your car can fly, why would you want to drive.
I’ll certainly faint in the air behind the wheel 😂😂😂
The next level 9/11 prototype 😂😂😂
These idiots like we don’t get enough deaths by just driving regular cars 😏
Al zazeera is a Qatari tv netwerk. And funny thing is there is no any qatari woman and men’s news representative😂 all are white ethnicity.
Qatar is a looser.
That is an autogyro taxing really fast. Not a flying car.
Somaliland have already attempt to made car like this but unfortunetly not became successfull mission🤣
Rockstar games want to know your location……
This flying car is the latest of many that have appeared since the 1970s.. They ALL failed…
Tempu upar rotar Lata.😂
Is amazing the future is intrestin
Not a good idea. What if the car breaks down in the air?
People can’t even drive properly let alone let them fly
Let’s see that Flying Dutchman.
Every plane is already a flying car, we just need way bigger roads.
China will buy one and China made replica soon
This is another way to kill more people on earth, fly car and the world is happy over this mess.
😦The world is really changing huh?
Beautiful ❤️❤️👍Excellent
why not isn’t it boat first to fly Mam
i rather ride a horse at the end of the decade a producer of automotive fuels have to reduced productions tulips Mam has better beauties it is God’s made
Well design doesn’t reach to any near futuristic. Flying cars can be a reality if suspension of vehicle can ovebear the impact of propellant jet engines and the strainous terrain while taking off and landing.
Okay, but not practical maybe in Mars without all the telecommunication masts
it’s great innovation !!!
Wow the car of my dreams 😍😘😘😘
Flying car not suscefull
