The following submission statement was provided by /u/DutchTechJunkie:
Flying cars have been a dream of mankind since, well, since there were cars. Prototypes have been around for decades. But now this dream is on the doorstep of becoming reality. More and more companies are developing flying cars, air taxis, passenger drones, or similar individual air transport vehicles. One of them, Lilium, is striking deals left and right. Of course, there are still legal and technical hurdles. But in the future, you can probably take an air taxi in Saudi Arabia.

This is an airplane--not a flying car.

That's a fun-looking VTOL e-plane, nice to see they're scaling up.
