Preferred shares? There’s drone news to report<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Dubai has tested a Chinese prototype of a self-driving hover-taxi, its transport authority said on Monday, with the aim of introducing the aerial vehicle in the emirate by July.<\/p>\n

The test of the one-man electric vehicle comes as the city state in the United Arab Emirates seeks to ensure a quarter of its means of transport are self-driving by 2030.<\/p>\n

The EHang 184 can travel on a programmed course at 100 kilometres an hour (60 mph) at an altitude of 300 metres (1,000 feet), the authority said in a statement. The new version has an endurance of about 30 minute flying time. This is about 30 mile range. The drones can handle a flier and a small bag weighing up to a combined total of 220 pounds.<\/p>\n

A passenger simply needs to select a destination for the autonomous taxi to take off, fly the route and touch down in the chosen spot monitored by a ground control center, it said.<\/p>\n

The EHang 184 is very similar to a multicopter UAV with an X8 configuration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
