Those reports from the summer that Volvo’s parent company hadsnapped upflying car startup Terrafugia? They were true. Geely has officially完全的它收购了Terrafugia，将其转化为中国汽车巨头的全面子公司。Tryafugia将保持在美国，并将继续在飞行车上工作，但它将有吉利的深口袋和汽车体验来恢复它。它还涉及新的董事会，包括一系列资深Terrafugia支持者，吉利执行和贝尔直升机为中国董事总经理。
Terrafugia很快就解决了这可能伤害美国经济的担忧。它收到了来自美国外商投资委员会的绿灯，并表示其“推翻”其工程师算在预期吉利现金的近100次。Terrafugia可能不是我们拥有的，但它会促成劳动力。
The real question is whether or not this will give Terrafugia the spark it needs. The company promises to have its first flying car on the market in 2019, and its electricTF-X车辆（上文）应该准备到2023年。然而，公司的努力被困在一个看似幽默之中：我们一直在谈论它Transitionaircraft for years. Geely’s funding and know-how could finally turn those promises into a reality, but it’s far from guaranteed. Also, there’s the not-so-small matter of establishing a market for flying cars. Right now, they’re largely sci-fi fantasies that few people can justify, let alone afford. You may be more likely to see出租车无人机than piloted hybrid vehicles.
