Airbus announced its self-driving flying car plans in September 2016, calling it "Project Vahana."
The concept centers on small crafts that can take off and land vertically like a helicopter, but take advantage of the efficiency of winged airplanes while in flight.
"The aircraft we’re building doesn’t need a runway, is self-piloted, and can automatically detect and avoid obstacles and other aircraft," wrote Rodin Lyasoff, CEO of Airbus's advanced projects group. "Designed to carry a single passenger or cargo, we’re aiming to make it the first certified passenger aircraft without a pilot.
While Airbus is planning on having a prototype this year, it forecasts that it won't have a model ready for public demonstration until 2020.
Airbus isn't the only company exploring the idea of autonomous passenger aircraft. Uber released a white paper in October 2016 detailing its own analysis of the concepts, many of which center around the same vertical take/off landing technologies.
Google co-founder Larry Page is also reportedly working on a flying car concept through his startup Zee.Aero.
