This comes from Airbus, a company that has had a long-time ambition of building a flying car. In January, it revealed the prototype of an amazing flying vehicle that looks like future tech. This project is also known as Vahana.
Now, the concept has been released with an even more fantastic feature: half car and half drone.
Airbus has designed a part-car part-drone
Suppose you are stuck in traffic and you are in a hurry. A drone will attach to your car, and you can fly anywhere you want to go.
This is a fully electric car, amazingly built, and the engineers have worked very hard on it. This multimodal car can ferry you through the roads and, if needed, airlift you whenever there is traffic congestion.
Airbus unveiled this Pop.up concept at the Geneva International Motor Show on Wednesday. They say they will bring this urban transportation to cities such as New York, Paris, London and Beijing. There are also plans to launch it in Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad.

The Pop.up consists of three modules:
- Air Module: This module is electrically propelled by eight rotors, which help the carbon fiber module go into the air.
- Carbon Fiber Passenger Module: This carbon fiber module carries the customers and goods.
- Ground Module: This is the battery of the car, and it runs on the road.
How Does It Work?
- Choose the destination you need to go to with the help of the application.
- Depending on that, it will give you the best transport.
- If there is no traffic, it will send you the Carbon Fiber Passenger Module.
- If there is traffic congestion, the Air Module will join the Carbon Fiber Passenger Module, and then you can fly to your destination.
- There will be no driver in the Pop.up. It will run in autopilot mode and land you at your destination.

Final Verdict:
If the Pop.up is low on charge, a bus stand terminal will be provided where the vehicle will charge. It will then wait for the next ride.
Vahana is a Sanskrit word. It is a fancy, new concept used in this car, and the design is fantastic too.
They are working on making Vahana an automatic flying car that doesn't need a driver.
This project is still in its early stage, and it may take around 5 to 7 years. If you want to see the full coverage of it, then Click for full coverage of Geneva Motor Show.
