Improvements in battery technology are quickly starting to enable manned electric flight, which some companies now want to combine with drones.
Audi and Airbus partnered with Italdesign to work together on a passenger drone/electric car hybrid concept.
Loveland, Ohio-based truck maker Workhorse, probably better known within the EV community for its plug-in electric W-15 pickup truck, is unveiling a new electric van today.
The vehicle is the company’s latest iteration of its concept geared toward delivery with its integrated drone for last-mile drop off of packages.
The advent of both the drone industry and electric passenger cars are culminating into drones capable of transporting people or more accurately described as vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) electric aircraft.
A new startup came out of stealth mode today to launch their own entry in this new burgeoning passenger drone industry.
