Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) has showcased its innovative flying car concept, GOVE, which can seamlessly transition between road and air travel. With a growing interest in futuristic transportation options, GAC joins the race to develop flying cars, demonstrating its commitment to research and development in the industry.
