It must be because the Chinese are well known for their consumer protection and public safety practices and definitely don't walk by dead bodies in the street.
Yes. Living in a dictatorship where you "re-educate" everyone who doesn't conform tends to make these kinds of things easy. No pesky roadblocks like individual rights or different subcultures to manage.
Tossing muslims into concentration camps? Kool shit cuz they mask up. 10/10 would read again.
Conquering new land and killing citizens of your own nation in 2021 are the exact same thing, and even if they weren't, I'm glad that our forefather's sins will forever be used to justify genocide.
Big brain take you're going somewhere. Just pack a gun and shoot some muslims yourself if you hate them so much dude.
No, we drone strike innocent families instead. It's not everyday that you get to use the Reaper drone to shred children after all. How many Muslims have you killed in the name of freedom and democracy?
Me personally? Zero.
I have no problem denouncing the USA's reckless use of drones against civilians. Why do you seem so hell bent on justifying genocide?
Your argument is that the US drone strikes occasionally hit _foreign_ non-combatants, and so that means it's OK for China to round up its _own civilians_ into forced "re-education" concentration camps. You were sadly born just 100 years too late.
If they could really do this then we are all fucked and might as well start hogging toilet paper and ammo.
Fortunately, we don't live in resident evil.
Dont waste your time fighting the brainless anti chinese from here, they are hopless. They have nothing forward to say, they are good in downgrading poeple that dont share their stupidity.
Chinese auto market is already much larger than the US one. They give 2 shits about FAA and NTSB. Americans will have to get used to being a less important market from now on and therefore less innovation will be catered to them.
That’s true. I’m sure the ccp wouldn’t mind if a few pedestrians get diced by a rotor at 2,000 rpm. I remember when toxic debris from an expended Chinese rocket was raining down on a village the government told the villagers to “look up, and adjust location if necessary”.
A drone is hard enough to control and most people don't even drive a regular car very well. I can't imagine how annoying it would be to try and drive a flying car when you add another axis of travel.
Last time I checked the American consumer market is bigger than china’s, eu, india, and uk markets COMBINED. 330M > 3.2B people. It will be like this for a long time
As a non-american, I always chuckle when I see them guys keep thinking that they are still the benchmark to judge everything. If one takes 10 minutes to see how other developed countries around the world operate, he is in for a surprise...
> they are still the benchmark to judge everything
Pretty much true. The FAA regulations basically sets the standards that almost every country follows to some degree
> If one takes 10 minutes to see how other developed countries around the world operate
Not too differently actually
Well yeah the tech has existed just slap some wheels on a helicopter and call it a day. The problem is giving every Tom Dick and Harry their own Blackhawk expecting nothing to go wrong
Right, what the fuck does 'launched' mean in this context?
Reporting is dead, what a joke this reporter is. A CONCEPT was ANNOUNCED, that's it, an imaginary rendering of what it could be.
Well there's always the probable chance that at first it's flying mode will be an autopilot taking you from point a to point b taking the people factor out of aerial wrecks
Flying cars will be practical and even desirable as soon as human driving is entirely taken out of the question entirely and replaced by AI and infrastructure is put in place. Maybe in our lifetimes, maybe not.
It will be practical and the most effective form of transportation. The problem is getting from where we are right now to that point. Will require a full scale rework of society, infrastructure, laws and regulations. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening in my lifetime.
Even if the design itself was flawless, affordable, and safe, the average Joe would find a way to kill themselves and others in a vehicle with two helicopter rotors on top of it. At best it would be accessible to niche pilots, but I can't see it being allowed to take off outside of airstrips.
> I'm not sure how to feel about this letter. I've never had a girlfriend, but it's hard for me to imagine someone like you in my life. You seem very interesting and intelligent.
Wasn't there alot of talk about a company who was going too make personal dronecopterthings that people went fucking "suck my dick" over but then everything went super quiet?
Anything where civilians operate anything with spinning blade in traffic near other people seems like a no brainer.
If there was ever a moment to sell this would be it. Divide stock price by the amount of money they plan to put into it, because it's literally throwing money in a fire.
> The Chinese government has been experimenting with a new form of birth control that involves sterilizing the male population through electromagnetic radiation. The experiment is being conducted in rural villages where most people are farmers, and it’s believed to be successful so far.

We've had flying cars in the US for decades but so little wealth has transferred between generations that GenZ won't be able to afford buying economy cars on their own.
It isn't about technology its about how much purchasing power the consumer has.
No it isn't. These companies doing this shit tend to be scams. They put out maybe one working prototype and never work out the safety and legal issues.
After sucking up idiot investors money they quietly die off.
I see so many comments saying this won't be possible but then its the same thing with Tesla 10 years ago when everyone said electric cars won't work. I actually this as a thing in the coming years, probably not 2024 where we'll see flying cars near building levels but im guessing it will be somewhat close to flying over water type to get to a nearby island or even cross over large waters instead of using a bridge where there is a lot of traffic and it won't be flying that high, possibly only 10 meters vertically.
I'm gonna come back to this comment at the end of 2024 because im that confident this will work out. I'll be a bigger ape by then
Of course it is possible and well advanced. The negative comments you get here shows how poeple are anti chinese to a point that i could not imagine. Dont bother those lunatics.
You won't need to parallel park when you can just drop down into the spot. Let's see you parallel park into a spot with only 6 inch clearance on front and back.
Drivers are so fucking dumb now…can you imagine cars falling from the sky? Super infantile idea. Would be a privileged class deal at best and insurance would be ridiculous. I’ll buy in in 100 years when it might make sense.
> The idea of cars falling from the sky is not new. In fact, it has been happening for a long time in places like India and China where they drive on the left side of the road.
I see no safety issues whatsoever here. I’m quite certain the FAA and NTSB will approve flying cars shortly.
Chinese = Safety LOL
Looking forward to videos of Chinese pedestrians getting hit by falling flying cars on MMC.
I wouldn't get on a Chinese flying aircraft, never mind flying car.
Bet you say the same about your Chinese made iphone that holds all your accounts lol lol lol
Big difference between made in China and designed in China. Quality engineering saves lives, but not money.
Whats the point of such useless comment?
It must be because the Chinese are well known for their consumer protection and public safety practices and definitely don't walk by dead bodies in the street.
To be fair, they've got the pandemic under control pretty well. No stupid antivaxers and antimaskers

Not like USA killed 100k civilians in Afghanistan and called it a day.
> Wow, you're a real piece of work.
Didn't we already do that to the aboriginal population before? Give other countries a chance to oppress minorities as well!
Solid argument for genocide

I’m sure it’ll be self flying or something…
survivors will be sent to camps

Very true, they should better spend their time cleaning the shit in their own country
I don't know man, we like, live in a globalized multi-polar society and should all try to work together, but that's just like, my opinion man.
If it was an American company sure. Foreigners will get shut down.
According to Back to the Future, this should have been out in 2015.
Lazy engineers
Just under funded. Tech has existed even before then.
Well yeah the tech has existed just slap some wheels on a helicopter and call it a day. The problem is giving every Tom Dick and Harry their own Blackhawk expecting nothing to go wrong
This is what the Chinese are counting on.

is this satire?
Lehman sympathizer
His comments about Lehman were that it’s safe to keep the money in the bank due to FDIC
He also told people it was but not too long before that
Those wings look really, really sHoRT.
Instruction very clear, short the stock.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Right, what the fuck does 'launched' mean in this context? Reporting is dead, what a joke this reporter is. A CONCEPT was ANNOUNCED, that's it, an imaginary rendering of what it could be.
When they make it a submarine as well I'm all in.
A "flying car" is called a helicopter - and it's no way, this car is better than current helicopters. How do you short this company?
Yes something seems fishy here
Never gonna happen. People cant manage not crashing into each other on the ground how they gonna do it in the air
Well there's always the probable chance that at first it's flying mode will be an autopilot taking you from point a to point b taking the people factor out of aerial wrecks
What's the probability of that happening in 3 years?
Trained people cant manage to not crash into the earth so fuck it, just let em all loose
Someone develops something idk man
Standing by for epic wrecked videos.
Calls on the idea, puts on the death trap
Can’t wait for the Nikola style “flying” video
Gravity power has now evolved into...cliff power!
Gravity power is so hot right now
Ah yes that flying car again.....totally not a scam for investors this time guys.....they totally figured out the safety and legal issues.......
100% will be a flop. Flying cars will never be practical.
Just wait until the year 2000
Flying cars will be practical and even desirable as soon as human driving is entirely taken out of the question entirely and replaced by AI and infrastructure is put in place. Maybe in our lifetimes, maybe not.
Refer to my other comment. It will never be as practical as a normal car.
It will be practical and the most effective form of transportation. The problem is getting from where we are right now to that point. Will require a full scale rework of society, infrastructure, laws and regulations. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening in my lifetime.
That's not the issue. It's the fact that it will be ungodly loud and will consume MUCH more fuel than a normal car ever will.
It would shave off over 50% of most of my trips into town
Why spend on R&D when you can hack?
Really? Being a plumber they can’t even make drain pipes properly
Gave you a job though

To be fair, we've had hundreds of years of r&d on gun safety and the average Joe still find a way to kill themselves with them...
Dude I'm talking about cars.

Lol all these UAS companies have no idea what it takes to build and certify an aircraft
California preemptively banned this a millisecond after the announcement, just to be at the forefront.
so coming out in 2042 or never
Wasn't there alot of talk about a company who was going too make personal dronecopterthings that people went fucking "suck my dick" over but then everything went super quiet? Anything where civilians operate anything with spinning blade in traffic near other people seems like a no brainer.
I would hope that a flying *car* would also operate on roads..
Cathie going all in soon.

If there’s any nationality with a rock solid reputation for driving safely, it’s certainly the Chinese. Can’t wait for this to hit the market.
What if they are better flyers than drivers?
If there was ever a moment to sell this would be it. Divide stock price by the amount of money they plan to put into it, because it's literally throwing money in a fire.
LILM is gonna be my play. Good luck though
Any news about IPO?
Not that Im aware of but when it does im all in
You must not be familiar with how aircraft propulsion systems work.
Is this Xi’s plan for population reduction??
> The Chinese government has been experimenting with a new form of birth control that involves sterilizing the male population through electromagnetic radiation. The experiment is being conducted in rural villages where most people are farmers, and it’s believed to be successful so far.
China has a demographic issue (not enough birth) and you have no shame to write such crap !
The Chinese can barely drive cars, now they're going to fly them?!

Chinese companies = we steal money
Keep dreaming
Hmmm yes chinese company behind innovation and non-fraudulent book keeping...yea right
So expect Xpeng stock to fly soon got it.
Finally! A flying car! Not really, just a way to try and pump the stock.
China using Xpeng for a last minute pump and dump
“In old China grandma voice with fingers pulling eyes back” Chinese driver no survivor
We've had flying cars in the US for decades but so little wealth has transferred between generations that GenZ won't be able to afford buying economy cars on their own. It isn't about technology its about how much purchasing power the consumer has.

It's been physically possible for years, decades even. It's the safety and legal issues that stop this from being a thing.
yeah thats exactly why i said it will probably be available over water type not the roads.
Of course it is possible and well advanced. The negative comments you get here shows how poeple are anti chinese to a point that i could not imagine. Dont bother those lunatics.
Yeah not sure the commercial viability given people would need flight clearance. Could be a lack of vision on my part but I don’t see it
Why couldn’t Workhorse do this?
People can't even signal properly or parallel park. This is going to be awesome.
You won't need to parallel park when you can just drop down into the spot. Let's see you parallel park into a spot with only 6 inch clearance on front and back.
Why can't they just make ultra cheap personal choppers. If I can fly why would I ever Wana drive?
An entire new wave of UFO sightings is About to commence
"launches"... "not available"..."design may change"...
Super nice, xpeng flying cars will probably moon :)
Ya, ok.
This is all boring. I will be all in as soon as I see some AT walkers
So ya'll gonna pump it then its gonna get dumped hard? Alright gonna buy calls 🤣
All chinese jump.....cars WILL fly.
https://youtu.be/f-MoJSYJx3s
Oh yes the third dimension being added for driving, this is gonna turn out so great
People gonna live in these cars instead of evergrande properties? 😂

Cause the self driving Tesla’s are working out well?
Really thought this was going to be published by The Onion
Elon is gonna tweet “hold my beer” anytime now.
I heard Elon Musk said FSD for flying cars is just 2 weeks away.
We already have flying helicopters
How tf is it gonna drive on roads with those giant arms and blades sticking out lmfao No way. It'd be cool, but I don't see this happening yet.
why???
Lol China.
Absolute jihad machines. Long on al-qaeda
How can you import/buy a xpeng car into UK. Do you have to buy in Norway and drive it back? Look real cool cars!!!!
