Would You Fly in a Helicopter Without a Pilot?

Ehang 184 would be first drone to transport humans

By Adrian Lam

The Ehang 184 manufacturers would like to make drones the popular form of personal aviation. Their current model costs between $200,000-$300,000; has a max altitude of 11,000 feet; can cruise up to 62 mph; and stays aloft for 23 minutes. The company has yet to get approval from the FAA, so it might be awhile before you see them in the air.
