So a year after their claimed date for a manned flight they have managed instead to fly a large drone that looks like the concept but cannot carry out the functions of the concept. Certification in 2018?

Electric drones doing VTOL is decades old news. The concept was for this thing to carry people and also the wings to fold away so it could drive along the highway. This "first test flight" was actually an RC model aircraft that could do neither. Boring.
