Samson Sky首席执行官表示,相互冲突的法律使飞行汽车停飞

币界网报道:

虽然克服监管障碍对加密货币行业来说并不是什么新鲜事,但在更古老、更重要的空中和地面运输领域,这是一个特别严峻的挑战。尽管几十年来人们一直要求飞行汽车,但即使是今天制造飞行汽车的公司也受到了阻碍。

然而,随着新的州级法规的通过,包括明尼苏达州所谓的“杰森法案”,允许私人拥有这些多功能飞行器,飞行汽车正在逐渐成为美国的主流。总部位于俄勒冈州雷德蒙德的Samson Sky是推动制造飞行汽车的公司之一。

Samson Sky创始人兼首席执行官Sam Bousfield表示,许多飞行汽车公司之所以失败,是因为美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)和交通部(DOT)这两个机构的联邦法律相互冲突。

Bousfield在接受Decrypt采访时表示:“你有美国联邦航空局的所有飞机规则,他们有很多,然后你有美国运输部的所有地面规定。”。“这两套(规定)有时会相互抵触,但你必须同时满足这两套规定才能作为地面和空中车辆运行。”

为了克服这一点,该团队将他们的车辆归类为实验飞机,其FAA规则较少,并将其归类为摩托车,因为它有三个轮子,这简化了DOT合规性。该公司指出,他们内置了额外的安全功能。

Bousfield说:“尽管我们没有被要求,但我们还是加倍努力,在前后防撞区提供碰撞保护,以及美国联邦航空局要求的侧面入侵保护和翻车保护。”。

Samson Sky成立于2008年,是Switchblade飞行跑车的开发商。Switchblade是一款紧凑型敞篷汽车和飞机,该公司表示,其最大空速为200英里/小时,巡航速度为160英里/小时。最大航程为450英里。这意味着它可以用一罐汽油从加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥飞往硅谷或圣何塞。

据Samson Sky报道,该公司正在接受Switchblade的预订,价格为17万美元。Switchblade的设计也适合安装在典型的车库内,其大小与本田雅阁相当。

虽然有些人可能认为这是一种新奇、浪费或不必要的东西,但Bousfield说,飞行汽车的实际好处是令人信服的。

他说:“我认为,当人们看到Switchblade节省了大量时间时,他们会改变主意。”。

在Bousfield看来,在上述例子中,从圣地亚哥到圣何塞的旅程大约需要7个小时的车程,而飞行只需要1小时25分钟。

Bousfield说:“几十年来,人们一直梦想着飞行汽车。”。“这是全世界的共同梦想。我与许多国家的人交谈过,他们几乎都有同样的想法。他们认为我们应该拥有它们,他们想知道我们为什么不这样做,然后[问],‘我们现在可以拥有一个吗?’”

另一家飞向天空的公司是总部位于圣何塞的航空航天公司Archer Aviation,该公司于6月获得美国联邦航空管理局的批准,在洛杉矶领空运营其“空中出租车”服务。

Mihoyo's Next Protagonist Is Her, Who Plays the Piano

Mihoyo, widely recognized for its hit game Genshin Impact, has long harbored a grander ambition: creating a virtual world where one billion people would want to live. While its character design is unparalleled, the company recognizes a fundamental limitation—these beloved virtual characters are not truly "alive." Their dialogue and actions are pre-scripted. This drive for authentic "living" characters has guided Mihoyo's strategic investments in cutting-edge fields like brain-computer interfaces, AI (including an early investment in MiniMax), and nuclear fusion. Following the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, co-founder Cai Haoyu stepped down from management to lead a new overseas AI venture, Anuttacon, focused on creating AI-driven virtual beings. Mihoyo's path has involved experimentation and iteration. Anuttacon's early project, *Whisper of the Stars*, showcased real-time AI conversation but revealed limitations in underlying language models. The team subsequently focused its resources on developing a sophisticated "emotional" large language model, distinct from purely utilitarian AI. Co-founder Liu Wei (Dawei) announced plans to invest up to 100 billion RMB in this AI pursuit. The first tangible product of this vision is *BSide: Olivia Lin*, a free Steam application featuring a piano-playing virtual companion. Unlike typical AI chatbots demanding constant interaction, Olivia Lin operates on a slower, more deliberate rhythm—responding to letters, playing user-submitted melodies, and serving as a desktop presence. This design emphasizes "lifelikeness" over exhaustive conversation, strategically working around current technological constraints while building a sense of authentic connection. The company's journey traces back to its name, "miHoYo," where "mi" pays homage to the virtual singer Hatsune Miku. For nearly two decades, fans have loved Miku, a character unaware of their devotion. Mihoyo's ultimate goal, now backed by massive investment and AI research, is to bridge that gap—to create virtual beings that can truly know they are loved.

Citrini Research: Taking Stock of 5 Major Investment Themes Overshadowed by the AI Trade

Citrini Research identifies five under-the-radar investment themes potentially overshadowed by the dominant AI trade. With capital and analyst attention overwhelmingly focused on AI infrastructure, these overlooked areas present alpha opportunities as market dynamics shift. **Theme 1: Airlines** – Despite strong fundamentals, stocks like Delta and United have been penalized for 18 months due to macro concerns (tariff-inflation, oil prices), not profitability. A rebound is expected as these headwinds fade, aided by trends like premiumization and the 2026 World Cup. **Theme 2: Senior Housing** – A pure demographic play. The U.S. population over 80 is projected to grow 56% in the next decade, drastically outpacing supply. This creates a compelling need for facilities, benefiting REITs like Welltower and operators like Brookdale. **Theme 3: Live Events & Entertainment** – "Being there" is becoming a luxury. This sector has outperformed even tech over the past decade. Companies like TKO Group (WWE/UFC), Cinemark, and IMAX are capitalizing on demand for premium, in-person experiences. **Theme 4: Exchange Competition** – CME Group's ~98% monopoly in U.S. interest rate derivatives faces its first real challenge from FMX Futures Exchange. Backed by major Wall Street banks, FMX offers lower fees and margin savings. While CME's deep liquidity remains an advantage, FMX provides a competitive alternative. **Theme 5: Fintech Recovery** – Heavily sold off in 2026, fintech stocks like SoFi, Robinhood, and Upstart are showing signs of a rebound based on improving fundamentals—SoFi's stablecoin launch, Robinhood's transformation into a "financial super app," and Upstart's renewed AI lending narrative—rather than a change in sector outlook. The report advises maintaining some AI exposure but diversifying into these neglected "small themes" where mispricing exists due to a simple shortage of investor attention.

21Shares Mid-Year Key Report: Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Remains Intact, Stablecoins and Tokenization Emerge as New Growth Engines

21Shares Mid-Year Report 2026: Bitcoin Cycle Intact, Stablecoins & Tokenization Emerge as New Engines This mid-year review assesses progress against 21Shares' ten predictions for 2026. While the overarching shift from narrative to fundamentals holds, performance varies. Key findings show Bitcoin's four-year cycle remains evident despite market maturation. Global crypto ETP AUM has declined to ~$140B, lagging the $400B target, though product innovation continues. Stablecoin supply surpassed $320B, demonstrating non-cyclical demand but falling short of the $1T forecast due to slower regulatory clarity. DeFi TVL, stalled at ~$140B, was hindered by major security incidents. Corporate crypto treasuries hold ~1.28M BTC ($100B), with consolidation pressuring weaker players. Prediction markets are on track, with $57.5B volume already surpassing half the $100B annual target. AI agent infrastructure is ready, but adoption is early. Ethereum L2 consolidation is underway, with the top 5 capturing nearly 90% of activity. Compliant token launches have a platform but lack mainstream volume. Tokenized RWAs total ~$31B on public chains, but institutional pipeline growth is strong. In summary, fundamentals like stablecoins, tokenization, and prediction markets are advancing, but targets require faster adoption or price appreciation. The market is maturing, yet cyclical patterns persist.
