Aston Martin has unveiled a concept for a luxury three-seater aircraft driven by AI.
The proposed Volante personal aircraft would hit speeds of 320kmh, and the company is hoping to have a working model within two years.
The concept was unveiled at the Farmborough Air Show, the company was hoping to provide a luxury competitor to the growing field of transport drones being explored by Uber and Airbus.

The electric propulsion would be developed by Rolls Royce, while Cranfield University has signed up to provide an AI to drive it.
As a luxury item, the craft's price tag is expected to at least top seven figures, but a commercially viable product is not likely to be released for several years.
