British luxury sports car company Aston Martin just unveiled an aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities for “personal air mobility.” The Volante Vision Concept is a “flying autonomous hybrid-electric vehicle for urban and inter-city air travel,” according to the press release, which aims to provide “fast, efficient and congestion free luxurious travel.” As Aston Martin President and CEO Dr. Andy Palmer noted, “With the population in urban areas continuing to grow, congestion in towns and cities will become increasingly demanding,” he said. “The Volante Vision Concept will enable us to travel further with our hourly commute, meaning we are able to live further away from where we work.”
