"We’ve all had the experience of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic with
nothing but miles of red taillights ahead, wishing we could somehow break
away from the pack and zoom off to our destination traffic-free. Now

roads there.

The car is called the PAL-V Liberty, and it’s made by Dutch company PAL-V

or imagine a flying car

to look like: a cross between a small helicopter and a very aerodynamic car
(with a foldable propeller on top).
