Czech carmaker Skoda is betting big on China. They unveiled an electric concept car called the Vision E, through which they hope to take their place in the world's largest auto market. Skoda CEO Bernhard Maier's presence at the unveiling underscores the importance of the market to the company. Skoda's new Vision E electric concept car was unveiled at the 2017 International Automobile & Manufacturing Technology Exhibition, also known as Auto Shanghai Expo on Tuesday. The four-seat crossover is based on VW Group’s MEB platform. Vision E has two electric motors delivering a combined 225kW of power. Designed in the Czech Republic, the Vision E is fuelled by liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery cells, and boasts a potential driving range of 310 miles. China's automotive industry has been the largest in the world since 2008. Chinese automakers produce more cars than the US and Japanese markets combined. In 2014, China produced over a quarter of the world's cars.

A Dutch-made flying car called the PAL-V Liberty aims to offer drivers the complete freedom to choose when to hit the road and when to take to the air. It went on display at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The three-wheel vehicle doubles as a gyrocopter, deploying fully-retractable rotors. The PAL V Liberty will use one engine for road driving and a separate one for flying. It's actually certified to fly under the rules of both the EASA in Europe and the FAA in the U.S., and complies with road safety regulations. PAL-V hopes the car will take-off, once it secures full certification in 2019.
These futuristic hydrofoil water taxis may soon ferry passengers to destinations up and down the Seine, the iconic river winding through Paris. The solar-powered aquatic shuttles, called Sea Bubbles, are designed to hold four passengers and a driver, and will be summoned with a mobile app, basically like Uber for rivers. Sea Bubbles were unveiled to the public at the 2017 VivaTechnology expo in Paris on Thursday.
