BEYOND DRIVE

Imagine driving though the sky in a flying car that is as much a part of daily life as today’s automobiles. Lightweight eVTOL aircraft can land at airports located almost anywhere in town. At your request, an autonomous flying car will pick you up and fly you straight to your destination in comfort as you enjoy the ride. Say goodbye to traffic jams, detours caused by roadwork, and train or bus transfers. SkyDrive will make seamless mobility a reality.
