China just approved flying taxis – no pilot needed


China has just approved the world’s first commercial driverless flying taxis. These electric air vehicles can fly at 81 mph, marking a major leap in urban transportation.

This groundbreaking move marks a significant shift in the future of urban mobility, positioning China at the forefront of autonomous air transport. Its small size and electric operation make it ideal for city centers where space is limited and air pollution is a growing concern. These specs make it suitable for short hops between business districts, tourism hubs, or suburban areas without requiring massive infrastructure.
