ABSTRACT

A flying electric car in the smart city is a type of personal air vehicle that provides door-to-door transportation by both ground and air. In this article, we review the latest developments in flying cars. The autonomous flying car detects and evaluates the environment, uses digital technologies to control and navigate itself without collision, travels in space, can take off and land (VTOL), and uses electric propulsion. Today, several companies are developing flying cars: Terrafugia, Aero Mobil, Volocopter, Lilium, Hyundai, Uber, Bosch. Many prototypes have been built in the last years using a variety of flight technologies and some have true VTOL performance
