Flying, driverless cars are expected to become a reality in Dubai by the summer after an initial test run of an autonomous aerial vehicle was launched Monday by the Roads and Transport Authority and Chinese firm Ehang. The vehicle – called Ehang 184 – should be able to transport people automatically and is scheduled to start services in the near future.
“The RTA is making every effort to start the operation of the AAV in July 2017,” Al Tayer, the chairman and director general of the Roads and Transport Authority, said.
