Japanese electronics manufacturer Nippon Electric Company (NEC) Corporation unveiled a prototype flying car. The flying car stayed in the air for almost a minute during a test in Japan this week. About the size of an auto rickshaw and equipped with four horizontal propellers, the drone-like prototype reached a height of three meters (10 feet). The flying car is designed for unmanned delivery flights, NEC officials said. The Japanese government aims to start commercializing flying vehicles from around 2023, beginning with the transportation of goods, and expanding to people closer to 2030.
