Summary:

  • China is accelerating the development of flying cars and aims to launch products in the market as early as next year.
  • This technological evolution leverages China’s expertise in drones and electric vehicles, backed by strong government support.
  • The growth of a new economic zone utilizing low-altitude flight, called the ‘low-altitude economy’, is expected.

2. Considering the Background

The advancement of flying cars is rooted in China’s technology in electric vehicles and drones. These fields are already leading globally, and flying cars are a natural extension of that. Additionally, with strong government support, technological development and infrastructure enhancement are progressing rapidly. How will this movement affect our daily lives? Let’s contemplate that future.

3. What Does the Future Hold?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Cars in the Sky Are Commonplace

If flying cars become practical, our means of transportation will change dramatically. In urban areas, vehicles flying above may become a daily sight. This could alleviate ground traffic congestion and shorten travel times. However, this would also introduce new challenges in air traffic management, necessitating new rules for aerial travel.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Significant Growth in New Industries

The proliferation of flying cars will promote the development of new industries. The forms of travel and logistics will change, bringing new business opportunities to the tourism and transport sectors. Additionally, advancements in related energy and sensor technologies may trigger further technological innovations. As a result, our lives could become increasingly convenient and comfortable.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Ground Silence Is Lost

On the other hand, the increase in flying cars may raise new concerns regarding noise and environmental issues. Regulations to ensure safety in the air may increase, potentially restricting free movement. Moreover, as technology advances, the role of traditional ground transportation may diminish, leading to changes in local ground culture.

4. Tips for Us
