Airbus recently announced flying cars already in 2017. Now it has introduced the Airbus Pop.Up, an autodrone that will make it possible for you to never be late for a meeting or work again. stuck in the crowd. Airbus created its vision of the transport of the future - a car that can transform into a drone - with the renowned Italian design studio Italdesign. It will work according to the sharing system or like a taxi.
Have you ever been caught? in the crowd, dreamed your car could fly over all that piled-up sheet metal? Such a future is not far away. They are coming autodrones. There is one like that too Airbus Pop.Up. A case of two-seater car, which can translate into a drone. You can just call it up through the application. If you are caught in a crowd, it will take you to your destination above the city or crowded. Airbus made it together with Italdesign presented at the Geneva Motor Show.

For now, Pop.up is just a concept. Measures approx. five meters, which is somewhere in the range of a sedan. Passenger cabin or capsule, as it was called, can be separated from the chassis. It is made from carbon fiber, and Pop.up's main task will be to provide a taxi service, and it may also be used for personal use. And how will the service work? You will launch the Pop.up app and order flying taxi. This will be able to transport you 100 kilometers away (on the ground or in the air), but everything will go on autonomously. This kind of idea is not new, Italdesign has already presented it in 1982, when he showed a car with removable wheels and chassis at the Turin show. The autodrone will soon come to life in Dubai, which you can read more about here.
