From July, There Would Be Availability of Taxi Drones

A drone refers to an unpiloted aircraft or spacecraft. Another term for it is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UAV. There’s going to be a drone that would begin to carry people from place to place.

Matter al-Tayer, head of the city’s Roads and Transportation Agency said “A drone that can carry people will begin ‘regular operations’ in Dubai from July”.

 Matter al-Tayer announced this at the World Government Summit. Al-Tayer said that the drones have been inspected and certified by the nation’s civil aviation authority. The vehicle can carry one passenger weighing up to 100kg (220lbs).

The passenger selects a destination on a touch screen but there are no other controls inside the craft. The drone can travel up to 50 kilometers and can travel at a top speed of 100 miles (160km) per hour. The craft, named Ehang 184 was made in China.
