The Japanese giant\u2019s interest in this transportation solution could be motivated by the coming of the Olympics in 2020, which would serve as an incredible stage to show off such an accomplishment. Also, they want to ignite the torch in a drive\/fly-by\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The prototype, called the Sky Drive, uses an aluminum space frame, eight propellers and a number of sensors to fly. Recently, a test flight did not quite take flight, if you will. The Sky Drive hovered to eye level for a few moments before it crash-landed on the attached basketballs. They were intended to cushion the apparatus in the event of a drop but unfortunately; the flying car wouldn\u2019t take off again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/luxurycarmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/carivator-e.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4001\" src=\"http:\/\/luxurycarmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/carivator-e.jpeg\" alt=\"carivator-e\" width=\"610\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxurycarmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/carivator-e.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/luxurycarmagazine.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/carivator-e-300x171.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite the disappointing test, Cartivator and Toyota are nowhere near giving up on this idea.
