- (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.
That will fly you straight to the scene of the crash
Install protective mesh cage around propellers adjust the draft and you got it...
now good
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.
GOOD
how will it recognize a parking space?
when fiailure machine in fly why not paracute installation in use this drone ?
No freaking way, I’ll get inside of this toaster
I see a problem with limbs being lost.
ha ha ha was going say :))
I agree . Too many negatives , it will never be approved !
is there any safe system such as parachute for the taxi (not the driver)?
None my friend :)
I've lost GPS signal twice last night using online and built in navigation. I would hate to see failures in the skies
M R they use GPS technology on airplanes and they don’t get lost, is more advanced technology yes, what we have is the same as the internet tv and other staff which is garbage, so yeah what we have no good, just saying
M R damn right but it is possum And more than possible it must be achieved now for everybody humans need to find a way to not lose signal no matter what we must find a different way
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.
Sérgio Silva um paraquedas resolve
retired new cars seem out of reach and not needed 80% of the time this is the ticket bring it please
it doesn't last long in the air only 23 minutes and 25 minutes to charge
it gets my vote the future
Has this vehicle Lidar sensors in order to avoid walls and trees along the route ? Else this will crash and I lose a million dollar in order to repair it.
this should have happened in 1999, thank god i didn't get a driving license
r.i.p. whoever flies this thing
Lets see a person in it. You are insane!
We're not disclosing how many people....... (that lived????) 😈😈😈
$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
no prop cage ? lol
$300k. It's going to have to get a lot cheaper, like 6x - 7x cheaper to be remotely practical.
It is not intended to be privately own. it is intended to be a taxi service. I heard Uber was interested in this.
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.
로빈 India piece
Sir Indian piece plz reply
로빈 yes the 10% which they all are from here and live here in America
Fake they never fly with passenger inside
even fake ..some day it will be real.....this is the future,,
Will you fly your kids in it? LOL, Engineers laugh says it all. No way I am putting my kids in this POS. LOL hahaha but he had to say yes because his buttons are pressed tight.
Joveeieo
So queet is drowns
Ehang short of money again.......... to give a shit to worldwide. no good. here show the world how you can get it done properly
Totally nonsense, phantasmagory vehicle.
Noooooooo!!!!! Is someone dare to fly this China flying machine⁉️🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
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.
Some people are millionaires and still look worthless to me
Never gonna happen.
Useless
GOOD
