A Bay Area startup has won permission from federal regulators to test what it says is a fully electric car that can fly and travel on roads.

Alef Aeronautics, based in San Mateo, received a special airworthiness certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration for its Model A car. The certificate allows the company to test the car model’s flight capabilities in limited locations, according to Alef.
