Alef Aeronautics releases footage of their electric car "jumping" over car.

Alef Aeronautics releases footage of their electric car "jumping" over another car on a road in California.

The company claims this is the "first test in history of a car drive and vertical takeoff in a city."

The company hopes to solve traffic by developing a car that can simply fly over it

"This drive and flight test represents an important proof of technology in a real-world city environment," said Alef Aeronautics CEO Jim Dukhovny.

"We hope it will be a moment similar to the Wright Brothers' Kitty Hawk video, proving to humanity that new transportation is possible."

The car can currently only drive 25 miles per hour. It operates with four rotors in the front and four rotors in the rear.

The company has already received over 3,000 preorders and expects to sell the vehicles for $300,000 each.
