Elon Musk Reveals Plan To Launch "Unforgettable" Flying Car Before Year-End

  • On Friday, Elon Musk, billionaire oligarch and Tesla CEO, told Joe Rogan he hopes to unveil a flying car prototype before the end of the year.
  • Musk has long pursued the idea, noting he has discussed flying cars since at least 2014 and linked the concept to the delayed second-generation Roadster, originally set for 2020.
  • Technically, the VTOL vehicle could be a vertical take-off and landing craft, but U.S. pilot licensing rules and air-traffic coordination pose logistical hurdles, Musk said.
  • The CEO hedged on timing but said the product demo "has a shot" and could be the most memorable prototype unveil ever, while observers note Musk often debuts concepts long before they're ready.
  • A prototype demo differs from market release, and market demand for flying vehicles is uncertain as past concepts like Hyperloop, the Loop project , and 16-person pod concept remain undeployed.
