Well, watch out Uber and Lyft, the flying taxi is coming. In North Carolina this week a crowd of about 100 people including the state’s governor, watch the first North American flight of the eHanmg 216, a newly developed autonomous flying vehicle. It basically looks like a really big drone that could seat two people.
UPI reported that no people actually took the short flight on a test track as Federal Aviation Administration rules currently do not allow autonomous aircraft to carry people.
Imagine the possibilities? Pulling up an app on your phone, ordering a flight in this, and being whisked away above car traffic. Don’t expect it to be cheap or be available any time soon.
