EHang 184

Forget flying a drone. What if you could be flown by a drone? EHang’s 184 drone is a quadcopter with one unique feature: it can carry a person. Once someone climbs inside she just tells the drone where to go, and it navigates her there with no need for any pilot skills. The drone can fly at a maximum altitude of 11,000 feet, has a top speed of 60 mph and has 23 minutes airtime.  It’s not going to be a replacement for an airplane, but it could ultimately be something you use to make that morning commute a little easier, that is if the FAA approves use of the gadget. No release date is available but when it does hit the market, the estimated starting price will be $300,000.
