Chinese passenger drone unveiled

LOS VEGAS (Web Desk) – A four feet tall drone capable of carrying a human passenger was unveiled at the Las Vegas CES tradeshow on Wednesday.

The Chinese EHang 184 is capable of carrying a passenger for 23 minutes at a speed of up to 60 mph.

EHang claims the drone is “the safest, eco-est and smartest low altitude autonomous aerial vehicle” for short to medium distance travel.

The drone will not allow users to fly manually; an automated destination input/delivery system is designed to eradicate human error.

The EHang 184 cannot be legally tested in the US due to FAA regulations.
