Airbus Group has revealed it is on-track to test a prototype for a self-piloted flying car, as a way of avoiding gridlock on city roads by the end of 2017. Since forming an Urban Air Mobility division in 2016, Airbus Group has been exploring concepts such as a self-piloting air-borne vehicle to transport individuals, and a helicopter-style vehicle that can carry multiple riders, since last year. People would book the use of these electric-powered vehicles using a smart app, similar to car-sharing schemes.
