Ehang 184

Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV)

According to their website http://www.ehang.com/ehang184 >Ehang 184 AAV is the safest,Smartest and Eco-Friendly low altitude autonomous aerial vehicle, aiming on providing Medium-Short Distance communication and transportation solution. https://media.giphy.com/media/l2JJyBkSm2bvyHOLK/giphy.gif Powered by electricity only, the Ehang 184 can still operate with one set of rotors not working! Also the communication is encrypted, and they state "If any components malfunction or disconnect, the aircraft will immediately land in the nearest possible area to ensure safety". https://media.giphy.com/media/eW0n0LPlijDhu/giphy.gif From the way the regulations are starting to look, it seems like this type of transportation may stay _autonomous only_, and not allow anyone to manually drive these types of vehicles. https://media.giphy.com/media/38zCNfXXEHLKo/giphy.gif
