Development of passenger drone/electric vehicle hybrid vehicle

Beijing time on March 7th news, according to foreign media reports, with the development of electric vehicle battery technology, some car manufacturers hope to combine the battery and unmanned technology of electric vehicles with drones to achieve electric manned The advent and use of drones/cars eases traffic congestion in very large cities.

According to reports, the car manufacturer Audi and Airbus have teamed up with the famous Italian design company Italdesign to jointly develop a drone/electric vehicle hybrid vehicle concept vehicle for manned vehicles, which can automatically be on the road and the sky. Switch between modes to choose the fastest and most efficient path. Airbus and Audi believe that by 2030, traffic congestion in megacities around the world will become more serious. Therefore, how to better alleviate traffic congestion, achieve environmental sustainability, modular integration of cars and drones, and multi-mode urban transportation systems further promote passenger drone/electric vehicle hybrids. With research and development.

Development of passenger drone/electric vehicle hybrid vehicle

This hybrid vehicle concept car can be seen as an unmanned electric aircraft system that can be installed on an electric car and eventually turn the car into a small, flightable aircraft. The user plans and schedules the trip through the car app, and the system automatically suggests the best travel plan based on the user's knowledge, time, traffic congestion, cost, and ride requirements. The most attractive thing is that when the previous user arrives at the destination, the air module and the ground module of the hybrid carrier will be automatically separated. According to the different needs of the user, the ground module continues to drive, and the flight module can return spontaneously. A specific charging station, waiting for the next user.

Previously, Airbus has begun research and development of electric flight systems, including the introduction of an unmanned VTOL electric aircraft. In order to better integrate this electric flight system with the car, Airbus began working with Audi and Italdesign to develop a drone/car that could tightly integrate the flight system with the electric car. Airbus and Audi's design platform is based on three key platforms: one is the on-board artificial intelligence traffic interaction platform represented by Audi, which can manage the user's travel mode and road conditions in a complicated way, providing an alternative solution. The scene ensures a seamless docking experience; the second is a flight module platform represented by Airbus's VTOL electric aircraft, which can be effectively combined with the car to achieve a "relatively independent electric propulsion module" that matches the ground and the air. In order to achieve a perfect combination; the third is the future-oriented VR interaction and intelligent experience platform, enabling users to achieve interaction and simulation with traffic, environment and roads at the fastest speed in use, thereby improving production and living efficiency.

Bernd Martens, director of Audi's Purchasing Director and president of Italdesign, commented: “The need for diversified transportation and new transportation concepts in cities and people is the driving force behind our innovation. Italdesign is an innovative technology and radical prototype. Incubator. Next, through hard work and cooperation, we will achieve an ambitious vision that may permanently change our future urban life."

It is reported that this drone/electric vehicle hybrid vehicle will be an updated version of the concept car "Pop.Up" launched at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, or named "Pop.Up NEXT". It can be seen from the concept map of the current media exposure that the flight module is mainly independent and concealed, and can be separately installed or folded and hidden at the bottom of the car. "Pop.Up NEXT" basically retains the design of the previous version, providing two seats, but the cabin is not equipped with a steering wheel or rudder, only a large display. Overall, the new concept car is similar in shape to “Pop.Up” and is an oval, capsule-operated room made of carbon fiber composite material, 2.6 meters long, 1.4 meters high and 1.5 meters wide. The flight system is separate from the car platform. "Pop.Up NEXT" will show Audi's logo in obvious places, and it may also embody the Audi car family style in future design stereotypes. Its flight system still uses the current mainstream UAV flight module, equipped with 5 & TImes; 4.4 meters, with eight counter-rotating propeller air modules, driven by the battery to achieve vertical takeoff and landing and flight.
