Even normal cars are barely affordable to many people anymore. Yes, new tech starts out expensive and eventually drops in cost and trickles down to the masses, but will flying cars like this ever drop down to a mass-market level. But how practical is the X2 in actuality? How much will it cost? Who will actually be able to afford it? I assume it won’t be replacing the Toyota Corolla anytime soon. In order to reduce weight, the XPENG X2 has a complete carbon fiber structure.” For the first time, the X2 adopts an enclosed cockpit with a minimalist teardrop-shaped design and a sci-fi appearance that takes high-efficient aerodynamics into account to achieve the ultimate in-flight performance. “The XPENG X2 is the fifth-generation flying car independently developed and manufactured by XPENG AEROHT. It will be suitable for future low-altitude city flights and is perfect for short-distance city journeys such as sightseeing and medical transportation.” It does not produce any carbon dioxide emissions during flight and is a step forward in the pursuit of urban green transportation. There’s plenty more about the X2 that is appealing, and this is a convincing statement from XPeng: “The XPENG X2 is a two-seater flying car. I’d be all about that autonomous mode! Press a button and the flying car takes me where I want to go? Yes, please. During the autonomous flight, passengers can enjoy a safe and intelligent flying experience with simple start, return and landing operations at the touch of a button.”

“The XPENG X2 is equipped with two driving modes: manual and autonomous.

One of my first thoughts with a vehicle like this is, “Well, come on, you have to get a pilot’s license to use this.” Another thought is, “but how safe is this flying car - how likely is it that someone will crash?” With those thoughts in mind, I found it inspiring that the XPENG X2 can simply fly itself if you wish. That’s the real-world video of the XPENG X2’s Dubai flight, but I have to say that this next video is much cooler even though it’s only a visualization.Ĭontinuing on with the positive points first, aside from the fact that the X2 is a stunning electric car that can legitimately fly, I think the autonomous side of it really deserves to be highlighted. Before we bring our feet back down to ground, though, let’s enjoy these stunning photos and visualizations below as well as the fresh new video of the XPENG X2 flying car’s fun achievement. However … other parts of my brain keep pumping the brakes. No doubt about it, I instinctively want to get super excited about the XPENG X2, and more broadly the potential for flying cars that normal people can buy and use. The cartoon The Jetsons immediately comes to mind. Seeing the flying electric car in the skies of Dubai definitely makes one feel like the future has arrived. It was a fun event and you can watch a video of the milestone below.
XPeng got a lot of headlines this week for the first global public flight of XPENG AEROHT’s XPENG X2 flying car.
