NEWS REPORT 2
A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc. has begun conducting test flights of their prototype flying car with a human pilot.
The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration（演示；展示） of the vehicle later this summer.
The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company's research flight center outside of Nagoya.
There have been a number of previous test flights, but they were all conducted via remote control and no human pilot on-board.
According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited retail release as early as 2023, and mass production by 2026.
SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be 'the world's smallest flying car.

The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding（行动； 进行） so far, but says things are going well enough to continue making them.

France unveiled（推出……；揭开……的面纱） Monday new measures to combat violence against women by their partners or ex-partners, seeking to toughen up the law as concerns mount over the number of women killed in the country.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe made the announcements on the UN-backed International Day for Eliminating Violence against Women, two days after tens of thousands of people took to the streets across France in a show of solidarity（团结）.
Growing anger over the failures in Europe and globally to make progress ending the horrendous（可怕的） annual toll（损失） has pressured governments to begin to take action,
though activists warned that far more needs to be done.
Expressing hope that the plan would prove an "electric shock", Philippe said the measures would seek to broaden the definition of violence, including how harassment（骚扰；骚乱） can lead to suicide.
Since the start of 2019, at least 117 women have been killed by their partner or former partner in France, according to a case-by-case study by AFP based on media reports.
The figure shows no improving trend -- last year, 121 women died in what are increasingly
termed femicide（s 杀人剂）, to underscore the fact the victims were killed because they were female.
An additional 213,000 women in France are victims of physical or sexual violence on the part of their partner or ex-partner, according to the latest official figures.
