飞行汽车可以想象成是五年以前的无人驾驶，无论是市场需求，还是帮助一个国家的交通状况的改善，是有很好的战略前景的。在这背后有着巨大的市场。到2030年，全球60%以上的人口将居住在城市。在城市中开展空中出行，将是应对城市出行挑战的最佳方案，城市“空中出租车”市场潜力巨大。德勤发布的《移动出行之未来飞行汽车》报告中预测，2040年，仅美国的“空中出租车”市场规模就可达到170亿美元。

奥迪在开发飞行汽车的路上先行一步。它联合空中客车（Airbus）、大众集团旗下设计公司Italdesign，在去年联合推出了体型小巧的Pop.Up Next自动飞行车原型。

丰田于2017年投资了美国飞行汽车初创企业Cartivator，它计划在2020年东京奥运会开幕时推出一款单座飞行汽车，从空中点燃奥运火炬。

像吉利一样看好飞行汽车前景的，还有众多传统车企、航空巨头，以及科技公司。以空中客车为代表的传统航空企业更不甘在飞行领域屈居人后。空中客车的飞行汽车计划于今年年底首飞，2020年之前确定量产样机，10年内或投入使用。

在实体零售受到网上购物冲击严重的中国，飞行汽车将被首先应用于货运，而在出租车业务下降、优步迅速发展的美国，飞行汽车会首先出现在乘客市场。“但是在两国都会有更多不同领域的应用，比如医疗救护服务可以出现在任何地方，或者出现在交通事故现场然后运到医院等等。

Flying cars can be imagined as driverless five years ago. Whether it is market demand or helping a country improve its traffic situation, there is a good strategic prospect. There is a huge market behind it. By 2030, more than 60% of the world's population will live in cities. To carry out air travel in cities will be the best solution to meet the challenges of urban travel. The market potential of urban "air taxi" is huge. Deloitte's report "Future Flying Vehicles for Mobile Travel" predicts that in 2040, the size of the "air taxi" market in the United States alone will reach $17 billion. 

Audi took the lead in developing flying cars. It joined Airbus and Italdesign, the design company of Volkswagen Group, to launch a compact prototype of the Pop. Up Next automatic flying car last year.
Toyota invested in Cartivator in 2017 and plans to launch a single-seater flying car to light the Olympic torch from the air at the opening of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.

Like Geely, there are many traditional car companies, aviation giants and technology companies that are optimistic about the future of flying cars. Airbus, as the representative of traditional aviation enterprises, is more reluctant to lag behind in the field of flight. Airbus's flying car is scheduled to fly for the first time at the end of this year. It will be mass-produced by 2020 and put into use within 10 years. 

In China, where physical retailing is severely impacted by online shopping, flying cars will be first used for freight transportation, while in the United States, where taxi business is declining and Unilever is developing rapidly, flying cars will first appear in the passenger market. "But in both countries, there will be more applications in different areas, such as medical care can be found anywhere, or in the scene of a traffic accident and then shipped to a hospital, and so on. （文编译/飞行汽车  www.feiauto.com）
