Toyota wants to build a hovering car Bashny.Net

Toyota company is seriously considering the possibility of creating a car that will hover above the ground at low altitude, and by way of movement will resemble the hovercraft. Officially, the concept of such development until nothing was not stated, but we can assume that such a model, in case of its occurrence, will have two power units, one of which will lift it above the ground, and the second to move in the horizontal plane.



Toyota believe that this technology will allow to achieve essential economy of fuel, relieve traffic flow in major cities and make movement more secure compared to the current situation, whereby the comprehensive insurance in the FAC for such cars will be much cheaper compared to the traditional vehicles.

The last two points will be achieved by distributing traffic to several transport layers, and, in fact, the movement will be multi-storey.

One of the leaders of the technical Department of Toyota Chirouse Yoshiki said that we can't talk about any specifics in terms of timing of the appearance of such a vehicle, impossible. Despite the number of developments available to the company in this direction, even on the initial degree of readiness of the technology, it is not. The entire project exists only as a concept, and its embodiment in the life of abandoned power specialists of several divisions of the automaker.

But the fact that for models with the possibility of moving above the earth – the future of the automotive industry, Toyota no doubt. There are sure that the solution of several major problems of road transport is one, albeit an incredibly tough decision, is the option to which you should focus.

Note that the words Chirouse Yoshiki concerning the soaring car, was told yesterday at a meeting with a representative of NHTSA, David Friedman, also discussed the prospects of the sector of unmanned vehicles.
