Our Take on the SkyDrive
The SkyDrive has support from the local community in Toyota, Japan with a business headquarters in Tokyo. The Cartivator website states:

Our mission is “Connecting dreams to the next generation through mobility”. Our team consists of people with diverse professional backgrounds and are working hard every weekend towards developing the flying car. We aim to build a prototype, establish theory of flight control, as well as form alliances with major corporations to make mass production of the flying car a reality.”
