Two Companies are Working Together to Help Make Flying Cars a Reality

Making its world premiere at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, Italdesign and Airbus have shown off the Pop.Up, the first modular, fully electric, zero-emission concept vehicle system designed to relieve traffic congestion in crowded mega cities.
