Dubai to use Chinese-made passenger drone

Drones are no longer just for carrying cameras or missiles.

Chinese pilotless craft capable of carrying a passenger are expected to be put into use as early as this summer in Dubai, the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, according to Guangzhou-based drone manufacturer Ehang Inc.

The company has announced a partnership with Dubai's government to use its Ehang 184 passenger-carrying drone in the city's smart transportation system.
