Xpeng X2 Flying car tests 0-100km/h acceleration

This car’s Chinese name is 旅航者X2 (Lühanzhe X2). We can translate it in two ways: Voyager X2 or Traveler X2. But, to avoid any confusion, we will call it the X2.

Today He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng, posted a video doing a 0-100km/h acceleration test, sudden braking, maneuvering, and precise control test.

1960: in 2024 we had flying cars
2024: finally!!!

It is a great invention! And the design looks beautiful too.

I can’t wait to see these racing in the sky

[likeprincetj]

Surprisingly looks like it handles good

[CarlosRodriguez-nugj]

With this crazy traffic, might as well take my chances.

[Fish-please]

I feel like they just used the software from dji and scaled up the size. I bet it has a similar 10 minute flight range.

Just add a parachute on top and that will reduce the stress and anxiety of free fall crash.
Or use the 20% reserve of the batteries to generate push from below the chassis by two ultrafast fans to reduce the impact.

What a crazy world..
This is helikopter..
No need busy on road anymore..

[pekinami]

I could've sworn they said you could drive it on the road aswell so maybe it has wheels and propellers for both uses.

The visual effects are getting more realistic than past few years 💯

[Pitbullshorts]

Imagine how loud the streets would be if the car was released to the public

[jamesl.o.h.]

This is one of the futuristic travelling mode

[RevDougB]

How do you recharge the batteries. Are there solar panels to help in flight charging?

[paian]

You have to install parachutes, in compartments with springs, which open and throw the parachute upwards, opening and saving the lives of those who are very high.

Stuff like this needs to have a special permit required with a strict test, if anyone can use them then power lines and houses will probably get hit all the time.

[keiranninjaspirit]

Needs to come on a lot more as the noise level is ridiculous

[faqrished]

Drunks will be “they never said drink and fly”

[GingerWildcat]

Xpeng runs the most transparet EVTOL production in the world. The only company that records the noise of their craft. They have the most test flights. And the have a really fucking cool design. Battery tech needs to come in before this will be used as transport. Currently the best possible mass production battery could get this 10 to 40 minutes of flight with one or two people. That's why it will be use like a farm Lamborghini until magnesium oxide coated gold nano wire batteries get into production.

Wonder how many people gonna get chopped before they figure out guards for the props

This is one of the ones flying over New Jersey
