Guess What This Strange Looking Road Vehicle Is?

Like some weird trans­former-type of road vehi­cle that might sud­den­ly morph into a robot, dri­vers in Sil­i­con Val­ley were faced this week with a very big and com­plex look­ing ‘some­thing’ that is nei­ther a large SUV, Hum­mer or Mon­ster Pick-Up Truck. So what could it be?

It all became clear when the fly­ing car com­pa­ny, ASKA, tweet­ed, “We are present­ly con­duct­ing super­vised road tests of the ASKA A5 dri­ve & fly eVTOL in Sil­i­con Val­ley. We enjoy the thumbs ups and waves from dri­vers and pedes­tri­ans when they see the A5 dri­ving by.” 

ASKA “First Fly­ing Car” to Begin FAA Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion

These road tests are part of the Type Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process with the U.S Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion (FAA), recent­ly start­ed by the com­pa­ny, and is the first “dri­ve & fly” eVTOL to car­ry this out.

Let us hope local dri­vers will get used to see­ing the ASKA 5 shar­ing their roads and won’t become too dis­tract­ed by it, lead­ing to a pos­si­ble acci­dent.
