Uvavanyo lwenqwelomoya yenqwelomoya eyiSkyDrive 'imoto ebhabha kwindawo yovavanyo iToyota eToyota, embindini weJapan ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti.Inkampani SkyDrive Inc. Ngobhubhani otyumkileyo isantya sokwenza izinto ezintsha, uninzi lweeprojekthi zeemoto ezibhabhayo ezixhaswe ziingcali zaseMelika zihlala zihleli. Kodwa uqalo lwaseJapan oluthathe ngokuthe cwaka iprototype eyenzelwe isibhakabhaka kwaye ijolise ekwenzeni uhambo ngeteksi ephaphayo iyinyani ngo-2023.
I-SkyDrive esekwe eTokyo, ibonisiwe uhambo lovavanyo yohlobo lwayo lwe-SD-03 yemoto ebhabha ebutsheni bale nyanga kwisixeko saseJapan iToyota; kukhutshwe ividiyo ngolwe-Sihlanu. Imoto enesihlalo esinye, ixhaswe yibhetri kunye neebini ezine zephelelisi, yaphakanyiswa yaya kwiinyawo ezintandathu ngaphezulu komhlaba kwaye yaxhonywa kwindawo yovavanyo olunemingxunya malunga nemizuzu emihlanu. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, imoto yayikhwele umqhubi.
Yayiyinqwelomoya yokuqala ye-SkyDrive eneemodeli ze-SD-03. Inkampani, exhaswa nguToyota (umenzi wemoto), ijonge ukuguqula iprototype ibe yindawo yokuhlala abantu ababini ngo-2023. Ikwangumda wexesha ekujoliswe kuwo ngurhulumente waseJapan ukuba aqalise ngenkonzo yeeteksi eziphaphazelayo kwiidolophu ezixineneyo ezifana neTokyo ne-Osaka.
Okwangoku, imodeli yeSkyDrive inokubhabha imizuzu emihlanu ukuya kwelishumi kuphela ngesantya esisezantsi seemayile ezininzi ngeyure. Inyathelo elilandelayo kukunyusa isantya sayo ukuya kuthi ga kwiikhilomitha ezingama-60 ngeyure (40 mph) kunye nokwandisa ixesha lokubaleka ukuya kwimizuzu engama-30. Oko kungathetha ukubanakho ukubhabha ungamisi kangangeekhilomitha ezingama-20, okwenza imoto ibe ngumgqatswa ofanelekileyo wokuthumela kwamanye amazwe, utshilo u-CEO uTomohiro Fukuzawa.
Kwiiprojekthi zeemoto ezibhabhayo ezingaphezu kwe-100 zehlabathi, zimbalwa kuphela eziphumeleleyo nomntu okuloo bhodi, utshilo uFukuzawa Imithombo yeendaba edibeneyo ngolwesihlanu.Ndiyathemba ukuba abantu abaninzi baya kufuna ukuyikhwela kwaye bazive bekhuselekile.
Imoto ephaphazelayo, okanye ethe nkqo ukusuka nokuma (VTOL) isithuthi, yahlukile kunenqwelo-moya okanye ihelikopta kuba ayifuni ukusuka kwindawo ethile kwaye ibekwa kwindawo yokuhlala kwaye yenzelwe ukubonelela ngothutho olukhawulezayo ukuya kwindlu ngendlu ngawo omabini umhlaba kunye nomoya.
Imoto yeSkyDrive imalunga neemitha ezine ubude kunye neemitha ezimbini ukuphakama, incinci ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingene kwiindawo ezimbini zokupaka kunye nokulungele ukusetyenziswa ezidolophini.
Kumazwe ahambele phambili, iimoto ezibhabhayo kulindeleke ukuba zisetyenziswe njengendlela yokuhamba ukunciphisa i-traffic jam kunye nokuphendula ngamaxesha entlekele, ngelixa kumazwe asaphuhlayo kunokwenzeka ukuba zisetyenziswe njengendlela yezothutho efuna iziseko ezingaphantsi kakhulu, inkampani utshilo kwingxelo ebisekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
E-US, iiprojekthi ezininzi zeemoto ezindizayo bezisemsebenzini iminyaka. Kodwa akukho namnye kubo oye wakwenza urhwebo ngenxa yeziseko zophuhliso kunye nemiceli mngeni kulawulo, kunye neengxaki zabo. Ngomhla ka-Meyi, u-Uber ulinciphisile isebe elixhasa uphuhliso lwayo lweekhabhathi ezibhabhayo njengoko i-coronavirus yabetha kakhulu kwishishini lokukhwela abakhweli.
Omnye umphambili, uKitty Hawk Corp., owaphehlelelwa ngumsunguli we-Google uLarry Page kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, naye washenxisa isikhokelo sophando lwayo lweemoto ezindizayo kutshanje. NgoJuni, inkampani ivaliwe Iqela elisemva kwemodeli yemoto ephaphazelayo, iFlyer, ukugxila ekwakheni imodeli enkulu.
