Chinese electric-vehicle maker Xpeng unveiled a flying automobile over the weekend, which it claims will be mass-produced by 2024. Associate HT Aero, a flying car firm that raised over $500 million in its latest funding phase last week, is developing the Xpeng X2. The limited flying automobile includes a steering wheel for road mobility and a single lever for flying settings. Xpeng promotes the flying automobile as a mode of transportation in city environments, such as from the airport to the workplace. Vehicle manufacturers and entrepreneurs have taken notice of flying vehicles, with names like General Motors, Toyota, and Hyundai among those competing.
