Alef Aeronautics received approval to begin flying car tests at Half Moon Bay and Hollister airports this week, a step closer toward commercial production for what the San Mateo-based startup calls the world's first flying car. The company will start testing with its Model Zero Ultralight and later expand to other Model Zero prototypes and its $300,000 commercial Model A. Planned testing will include driving, vertical takeoff, forward flight, vertical landing and ground and air maneuvering.

The administration’s directive to the FAA aims to expedite approvals for commercial drone operations, enabling drone deliveries crucial for companies like Amazon.

Alef Aeronautics is taking pre-orders for their $300,000 flying car, the Model A, touted as the first true flying car in history.
