Airbus and Italdesign have revealed their plans to help city dwellers beat traffic with a modular vehicle that is part car, part drone.
The concept vehicle, named Pop Up, was unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. It features a “passenger capsule” that can detach from a wheeled base.
Should the passenger get stuck in traffic, the car would disconnect from its wheels before being picked up by a set of motors and taking to the skies.
Airbus, which has imagined the concept alongside Italdesign, believes the vehicle could be a viable solution for easing traffic in overpopulated and crowded cities.
“It combines ground with the air and allows passengers a seamless and faster way of getting from A-to-B using the city sky,” said Mathias Thomsen, general manager at Airbus.
