Self-flying taxi to transport passengers in Dubai

An autonomous drone that can transport humans will start ferrying passengers around Dubai this summer.

The city will use the Ehang 184 for the airborne service.

该市将选用亿航184载客无人机来完成空中服务.

这种载客无人机的全称叫"亿航184自动驾驶载人低空飞行器",是全球第一款可载客的无人驾驶飞机,由总部位于中国广州的亿航智能技术有限公司自主研制,旨在提供中短途日常交通运输解决方案.

"亿航184"的意思是1名乘客、8个螺旋桨、4支外伸机臂.

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.
