So the free the flying car will come. Yes, we are. This is our flying car from XPENG AEROHT, in Guangzhou China. Yeah. This flying car can be switched from the two models versus the, road model, and nowadays the five model. The flames systems can switch into the car on the road model, and you can drive, you can drive user no more license. And if, we switched into the flight model, you can drive it very, very easy. Only one switch you have you have to perform. And the the cabin has two models. My first is the road model. I don't know. It's the flight model. What's more we still bring another flying car. We call it the land-based, aircraft carrier. It is a modular flying car. We will start our pre order in the Q4 this year. And, maybe in our plan, we'll, give the delivery minutes at the end of next year.

Grant HarrellHead of Transportation/Mobility & Host of "Are We There Yet?" video podcast series

Asking the most exciting, innovative, cutting-edge companies in transportation/mobility the “Are We There Yet?” question is a lot of fun, and the focus of Grant Harrell's top video podcast series! And, it’s not a bad question as so much is truly happening in this space today. What used to be trains, planes, and automobiles is now robots, drones, and spaceships, and Grant is curious about how soon we are all going to see these technologies in action, at scale. Very few of us enjoy a car that drives itself, have dinner delivered via drone, or have taken a vacation to space, but these amazing technologies and applications, as Grant discovers within his "Are We There Yet?" podcast series, are here, or as he likes to say, "we're there"! Grant also serves as the Head of Transportation/Mobility for MarketScale, one of the fastest-growing, most-successful, fun b2b media companies in the industry! MarketScale works behind the scenes for many of the top brands today, building their brand, engaging their communities, and telling their incredible stories! Within Grant's leadership of MarketScale's Transportation/Mobility division, he enjoys working with top companies within automotive to aviation, micro-mobility to marine, drones to space exploration, and everyone in between.
