An autonomous drone that can transport humans will start ferrying passengers around Dubai this summer.
载客无人驾驶飞机今年夏天将开始在迪拜境内运送乘客。
The head of Dubai's transportation
agency said that self-flying taxis would start taking people across the city starting from July.
The city will use the Ehang 184 for the airborne service.
The Ehang is a drone that can fly without human direction and carry a single passenger and their bag.
It can take one person on a journey up to 23 minutes long.
"This is not only a model, we have actually experimented with this vehicle flying in Dubai's skies," said Mattar al-Tayer, head of Dubai's transportation agency.
The Ehang is electric-powered and can travel for about 31 miles with a person and bag that weigh up to 100kg.
It can go at speeds of up to 63 miles an hour and takes two hours to charge
fully.
To call for a flying taxi all passengers will need to do is enter their destination into an app. The drone then maps the route and transports the passenger to their destination.
