Read the text and choose the correct answer.

Companies are racing to make flying cars a real transportation choice. They think the popularity of car services will drive demand for flying taxis. Interest would be high in cities, where commuters spend hours sitting in traffic. The flying machines will pilot themselves. Experts say that will make them safer than cars.

In Dubai, people could head to work in self-piloted taxis in July 2017. The Ehang 184 can fly for 30 minutes on a single battery charge and carry one passenger. It is just one of several new flying machines, VTOLs, for “vertical takeoff and landing.” VTOLs lift into the air with the help of electric fans and are quieter and cleaner than helicopters.

Before VTOLs can take off in the U.S., manufacturers must run safety tests. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manages all flights in the U.S. Before it approves flying cars, the FAA has to accomplish several tasks, like writing safety standards and developing traffic rules so that low-flying vehicles can avoid crashes.

The FAA has approved the testing of the Terrafugia Transition. The craft runs on gas and travels on the ground and in the air. Its wings fold up for ground use and extend for flight. Carl Dietrich, who runs Terrafugia, wants to make personal flights a practical transportation option for everyone. But the TF-X won't be available for at least ten years.
