Future Tech of the Day – Passenger drones?

Courtesy of CES 2016, we have some awesome future tech to tell you about!! You know drones, right? Well, how would you like to … be in one?!

 

Chinese drone maker Ehang is aiming to make those dreams come true – with a 500-pound drone. It’s called the Ehang 184 and it can transport 1 guy or gal (under 220 pounds) for about 23 minutes, going about 62 miles per hour.

 

Although not currently legal in the USA, the company is in talks with the FAA, and once that whole thing is cleared up, you’ll be able to buy one, hop on in, select your destination (Vegas, obviously, you baller you) on the accompanying app and off you go! Into the future! Look at you go!

 

So far, the Ehang 184 has completed roughly 100 flights with a passenger. When this whole passenger drone thing is a real thing, iPhone Antidote will be looking to also purchase a mini passenger drone for the iPhone Antidote Guinea Pig, Papa Nu. Obviously.
