Memes and jokes flooded X, with many suggesting that this feature was tailor-made for India’s bumpy, pothole-ridden roads. One user commented, “If this car is launched in India, it will be a *flying car*.” Another user said, “perfect for indian roads just jump.”

A third user wrote, “Will it become a flying car on pothole-ridden roads?! Wait, it can’t because there would be others moving slowly.”

The concept of “flying cars” has sparked some hilarious comments online. One person wrote, “somebody been watching too much fast and furious lol.” Another user jokingly asked, “What if there’s another pothole where it lands?”

CES 2025 turned up the wow factor with another flying car concept, thanks to Xpeng Aero HT’s jaw-dropping debut of the “Land Aircraft Carrier.” This ground-breaking vehicle is a blend of an electric minivan and a foldable eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft). Picture this: you’re stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and with a simple command, your car unfolds its wings and takes to the skies, soaring over the chaos below.

Still a work in progress, the Land Aircraft Carrier is making the dream of flying cars feel closer than ever. Priced under $300,000, it’s already creating a frenzy, with 3,000 preorders secured, especially in China. Whether it’s for high-end travel or life-saving rescue missions, this futuristic ride has endless potential.
