We have heard lot about the flying and automatic cars, Google, Microsoft, Volkswagen and other have being working since years.
When Volkswagen invited its customers to think up for some ideas, it was perhaps inevitable that there would be at least one flying car design put forward, and get into the work.
But one concept – the ‘Hover Car’ – impressed the firm so much a short CGI YouTube video was made to showcase it, and let the idea of the flying car into real life.
The video below shows a VW flying two-seater zipping through Beijing. The car, powered by minerals underground, was the brainchild of a girl in China who responded to the car maker’s call for car innovation concepts,and gave the idea of 'Hover Car'.
The idea is that thrusters on the back of the car would propel it forward, and the underground minerals will help to keep distance from the ground, just like the bullet train.
Getting the 'Car' to work for real would require, electromagnetic strips embedded into the roads below it, creating the hovering effect via electromagnetic suspension.
As a prize, the girl’s parents got to “Test Drive” the car in a simulated video, According to Creativity Online, VW received 119,000 ideas and got 33 million hits on its website.
They are also working for the part 2 video for same model and soon will be out.
