  • (CNN)Dubai has announced yet another pioneering initiative, but this time it's not the world's first rotating skyscraper or 3D printed office. It's a fleet of flying taxis. Small enough to fit into a car parking space when folded up, the one-seater passenger drones made by Chinese company Ehang are set to start picking up passengers in July this year, according to Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA). The electrically powered driverless drones -- named Ehang 184 -- have already been seen hovering above the sand dunes near the city's airfield during test flights. "The 184 provides a viable solution to the many challenges the transportation industry faces in a safe and energy-efficient way," said Ehang founder and CEO Huazhi Hu when the vehicle was unveiled during the 2016 CES gadget show in Las Vegas. "The 184 is evocative of a future we've always dreamed of and is primed to alter the very fundamentals of the way we get around. "The Dubai Road and Transport Authority have begun test flights Read MoreSelf-driving transport strategyWhile the exact details of the project's logistics are yet to be revealed, Dubai's RTA says the futuristic venture is part of a strategy to have self-driving vehicles (of all kinds) account for a quarter of journeys made in Dubai, by 2030. "This project supports Dubai's government's direction to become the smartest city in the world," HE Mattar Al Tayer, director general of RTA, said in an email to CNN.

    Average Jane Doe and Joe Blow won't ever be a passenger. That's 99% of everyone won't be using this.

    It's automated already China made is less expensive than US. For sure, it will be used to developed countries first. This is the answer for those experiencing heavy traffic today.

    Muito bonitinho e excelente para evitar os engarrafamentos no trânsito, mas se falhar o software e/ou hardware, ele toma uma atitude de voo aleatória e um tipo não tem como se virar.
    Ainda se tivesse um sistema de jactos de emergência que pousassem o estojo para uma situação de emergência, vá lá...
    O próprio passageiro ao sentir que o aparelho estava descontrolado, carregava num botão de emergência que desligava os motores eléctricos e fazia a ignição dos jactos, que acoplados a um simples sistema giroscópico mantinham o estojo nivelado e descendo suavemente até tocar no chão, onde um sensor simples cortava o combustível para os jatos, apagando-os
    Assim já era outra conversa.

    $200,000???? Where do they come up with those numbers? In the states the car industry is never gonna let this great ideas to enter the market that’ll be the ruin for some companies, but we don’t have to think like that, TESLA was an impossible dream and happened we see them all over but the traffic still the worse, so yeah unless we think future real future not brain wash future this is the solution for a better quality of life for all, the solutions for out of control traffic, if we just take the ones who can afford it or rich people out of commute traffic that’ll be HUGE let’s do it, lest do it yesterday

      It is not intended to be privately own. it is intended to be a taxi service. I heard Uber was interested in this.

  • @samysdefer

    So you can assure, that its equal to a normal taxi with normal prizes etc. ? Or do I have to pay like $500 for every 100 meters? Since its only available in dubai yet, I imagine its only for the 10% richest people in the world, right?
    laaaame

      로빈 you have to take into account several factors. These cost almost a quarter of a million dollars, meaning it would cost more than an Audi R8, something most people can't afford. This is also meant to be a luxury item, it is designed for those 10%, and it's efficiency reflects that. It has an operation time of 30 minutes before it requires a two hour recharge. Even if those numbers were reversed it would still be a luxury item. Third, and probably the most important, the production rate. This company won't have millions of these in every city on the globe, and I wouldn't want them to. This is a brand new technology whose safety standards are going to be under global scrutiny, and in this circumstance the necessity for quality and the supervision to follow that outweigh the capabilities of mass production. This is not made by amazon, so the ability to supervise and support the product is not on a grand scale.
      Good news though, there ARE some big names working on this technology that would make it affordable to us in the future. I think uber is the main one and I could also see amazon getting in on it since their drone technology was stamped out.

    250,000 for the drone, it's not for the average human, to costly, it's only for rich people. all these robotic invention most of them will become dangerous because of the war mentality of the white and chinese people. If your going to invent something make sure everyone can afford it.
    I respect people trying to make things better for everyone. People need more than lots of money to gain my respect.
