A new age of transport is coming. A flying car called BlackFly will go on sale next year. The new company named Opener has got support(支持)from Larry Page, a co-founder of Google. BlackFly can travel up to 40 kilometers at a speed of 72 kilometers per hour. It is smaller, quieter, safer and cheaper than a plane. And it will cost the same as a car. Canada has allowed its use. Even though it will fly in the sky, people will not need a pilot's license(证件)to fly it. However, users will have to pass a pilot's written examination. They will also need training in how to use the flying car.
Some people say "car" is a wrong word because it has no wheels and can not go on roads. It is a single drone(无人驾驶飞机). The maker Opener said, "We want to make a safe and cheap flying vehicle, and it can greatly change people's Alan Eustace, a former Google leader, believes that the flying car can help with the heavy traffic. For example, it takes about 90 minutes to go from Palo Alto to San Francisco (even longer during rush hour), but people can make it in 11 minutes with such flying cars. He also believes the age of personal flight is near. He said, “Things go from impossible to necessary in a very short period of time. "
