Flying cars: the dream of flight that only a few will pay for

Published on June 09, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Govy AirCab promises clear skies, but its solid-state battery is the perfect excuse to delay a product that, in reality, only interests investors and defense manufacturers. Meanwhile, the average citizen remains stuck in traffic, dreaming of a future that never arrives for their wallet.

The battery that isn't the problem, but the excuse 🚗💨

Current lithium batteries already enable short flights, but companies avoid launching flying cars because airspace regulation is a maze and insurance is prohibitively expensive. The real bottleneck isn't chemistry, but social viability: urban airspace is not designed for flying taxis, and no one wants to pay a policy that costs more than the vehicle itself. The industry prefers to sell technological smoke rather than face bureaucracy.

Flying over the traffic jam, but only if you're a millionaire 💸

Imagine taking off from your penthouse while below, mortals wait for the bus. Sounds great, right? Too bad the flying car is a luxury toy, not a mobility solution. Investment and defense companies are already using this technology for military drones, while you keep dreaming of a future that, like the smoke of the rich, dissipates into thin air.
