飞行汽车从19世纪末起就是梦想,如今电动垂直起降(eVTOL)开始商业化:亿航在3月获准在广州和合肥开展商业观光飞行。Joby Aviation 计划在2026年初于迪拜推出空中出租车服务,其市值在一年内从60亿美元升至120亿美元(翻倍),并已超过雷诺或Lyft。

资本也在把另外两项“永远还差几年”的技术抬上台面:Joby、亿航及其两家主要上市对手合计市值约200亿美元,较2024年9月的近期低点高出三倍以上。三家量子计算上市公司 D‑Wave、IonQ 和 Rigetti 合计约330亿美元,较2023年末增长12倍;估值110亿美元的 Quantinuum 两个月前在纽约发布新商用量子计算机,Helion 与 CFS 两家热门聚变初创合计约100亿美元并分别签下自2028年起向微软供电、以及自2030年代初向谷歌和一家意大利大客户供电的合同,而 TAE Technologies 在12月18日同特朗普的社交媒体公司达成60亿美元并购。

推动因素既有突破也有产业链:谷歌研究人员在2024年证明,用更多“物理”量子比特构建一个“逻辑”量子比特可以降低错误率,把进一步进展变成可解的工程扩展问题。聚变领域自1960年代发明托卡马克以来进步加速,CFS 归功于可在约-200°C(而非-270°C)工作的高温超导体;在其自2018年成立以来的稳定订单带动下,供应商产量提升了40倍,AI 亦被用于材料设计、纠错与等离子体控制,但多数公司仍无营收、无利润且面临事故与需求不确定等商业风险。

Quantum firms have seen significant growth, combining valuations to $33 billion, with Quantinuum being a notable $11 billion startup that unveiled a new commercial quantum computer in New York just two months ago. Fusion startups like Helion and CFS have reached valuations of $10 billion, with contracts set for 2028 and early 2030s.

TAE recently announced a $6 billion merger with a social-media firm, highlighting the continuous interest in advanced technologies. However, it’s essential to mention that many of these firms have yet to generate revenue or profit, facing inherent risks and potential accidents.

While the landscape of flying cars and eVTOL commercialization is expanding, with companies like EHang and Joby making strides, investors must remain cautious as challenges persist.
