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 drivers in the Netherlands are one step closer to making this vision a reality, as a commercial flying car has just been approved for use [pal-v.com] on roads there.

The car is called the PAL-V [pal-v.com] Liberty, and it’s made by Dutch company PAL-V. It looks a lot like what you’d probably expect or imagine a flying car [singularityhub.com] to look like: a cross between a small helicopter and a very aerodynamic car (with a foldable propeller on top).

Finally. The 2 hours required to drive across the entire Netherlands is a terrible burden.
