The heart of the Pop.Up is a passenger capsule that can be attached to either the ground module (a skateboard-style electric car platform) or the air module (a drone-like flying contraption). It was imagined by Airbus and Italdesign Giugiaro and debuts in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show. Pop.Up has a two-seat carbon-fiber cabin, the ground module is also carbon, and both it and the air module, with its eight counter-rotating rotors, are powered by batteries. Airbus definitely has experience in flying machines and in fact this isn't its first stab at a personal air pod for people. Italdesign Giugiaro, known for making pretty things pretty, was pretty busy in the run-up to this year's Geneva show.
