A new drone is capable of both flying and driving. The Black Knight Transformer is the world's first road-going, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. It is currently being tested by Advanced Tactics, a Californian-based firm to meet the requirements of the U.S. military for a new evacuation vehicle. The patented AT Transformer technology combines the capabilities of a helicopter, such as the ability to take off and land anywhere, with the capabilities of an off-road automobile. The specially made truck comes complete with eight rotors - four on each side - that will spring out for take off and then fold in while driving; all while remotely operated. It is designed to be a low-cost rapid response ambulance to evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield or transport cargo. Its unmanned capabilities keep pilots out of harm's way, making it the safest casualty evacuation option
