General Motors has inched slightly closer to fulfilling its quest to put the world in flying cars.
As part of the 2021 virtual Consumer Electronics Show on Tuesday, GM showed renderings and animation of what it dubbed its Cadillac Halo concepts: the Cadillac Personal Autonomous Vehicle, which is like a fancy self-driving taxi, and Cadillac Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) vehicle, a sleek and futuristic drone-like flying car. The VTOL is GM’s first foray into air travel,” said Michael Simcoe, GM’s vice president of global design. Advances in electric vehicles and other technology are now making personal air travel possible, he said.
General Motors Showing Off Flying Car Concept
When I think of the possibility of flying cars, I think of the classic movie back in the 80s called Back to the Future. Do you remember the flying time machine called Delorean?

So here we are in 2021 and General Motors has inched slightly closer to fulfilling its quest to put the world in flying cars.
According to the Detroit Free Press, as part of the 2021 virtual Consumer Electronic Show, GM showed renderings and animation of what it dubbed its Cadillac Halo concepts.

The Cadillac Personal Autonomous Vehicle and Cadillac Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Personal Drone aren’t exactly close to a commercial launch, but they’re part of the automaker’s vision of how even those who don’t want to drive an electric car themselves may still find some EV in their future.
