Recently, the intelligent electric flying car Traveler X2 developed by the flying car division of Xiaopeng Motors was officially unveiled at the "eCarExpo2022" electric vehicle exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden. Although this flying car has been unveiled and demonstrated in the large-scale Lantern Party held by major domestic auto shows and domestic media, the restrictions of domestic air regulations and the recognition of flying cars have made this flying car ridiculed as a "flying toy".
But no matter what everyone's evaluation is, can not stop the ambition of Xiaopeng Automobile and the recognition of new technologies by capital, Xiaopeng Automobile founder He Xiaopeng, in the face of everyone's controversy, officially replied that he will mass-produce flying cars in 2024 and position the models as luxury cars within one million. In terms of imagination of future technology, Xiaopeng Automobile can be said to have spared no effort to closely lay out, taking the lead in the process of developing flying cars and taking the lead in developing autonomous driving technology suitable for flying cars.
According to the official introduction, the traveler X2 is a zero-carbon new energy product, with a battery life of up to 35 minutes and a design flight altitude of less than 1000 meters, which is suitable for future low-altitude transportation. The product is designed to fly at a maximum speed of 130km/h, which can meet the needs of short-distance air travel, and can also provide services for low-altitude sightseeing tours, rescue and medical treatment.
In addition, the X2 is equipped with two driving modes: manual driving and autonomous driving. Among them, the automatic driving function can automatically fly along the planned route according to the set flight altitude, flight speed, and flight time. In the automatic flight process of X2, passengers only need to have a safe and intelligent flight experience through simple operations such as one-button start, one-button return, and one-button landing.
Although the Traveler X2 and Xiaopeng launched the sixth generation of flying cars, compared with the aircraft and the car, it can be seen from the specific function display that Xiaopeng's ambition to launch a flying car is not to compete with the daily family car for the market, but to "eliminate traffic jams" and achieve a higher level of green travel. The European market, with a high degree of acceptance of flying cars, a tilt of policies, and a high degree of respect for green environmental protection, Xiaopeng flying cars have successfully landed in the European market, which has demonstrated the hard power of China's intelligent manufacturing.
