Is this the future of travel between Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Airbus has designed the world’s first battery-powered plane which can cruise for an hour at 160kph, and also plans a 90-seat regional airliner with all-electric or hybrid propulsion. Could this be an alternative to driving along the Sheikh Zayed Road?
