FLYING CARS
In 2017, Japanese car manufacturer Toyota invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in flying-car company Cartivator to create the SkyDrive: a personal flying car that operates not unlike a domestic drone, but on a larger scale to support the heavy payload of a human pilot. The intention was for the SkyDrive to be used to light the Olympic flame during the 2020 opening ceremony. There’s hope the flying car will make an appearance at the rescheduled games, especially as in August 2020 SkyDrive completed a successful debut test flight.
