Who’s ready to fly to work, well the future is now. A California start-up company known as ‘Alef Aeronautics’ has received clearance for flight by the FAA. The ‘Model A’ car is projected to be available in the market in 2025 and will cost $300,000. Not only can it fly but it can also drive on roads, and park like a normal car. The company has been working on this vehicle since 2015 and just received the approval for flight. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not certified it for public road travel as of yet. Are you ready for flying cars? In no time you can get one so you can beat the commute and fly to work.
