Since the invention of automobiles, it has always been a dream of us humans to drive and navigate the air in flying cars.
We are all aware that there has been no similar invention as we are hoping for, but some advancements in technology have been made in the automobile industry.
This post highlights all the progress scientists and engineers are making and have made in making this dream a reality.
These are the most advanced automobiles that have been invented presently.
• FF 91
This car is the first production vehicle from the technology company the Faraday future.
