China is the best in implementing something on large scale : digital payment, infrastructure building, mass production, autonomous car etc and now flying autonomous car
@LebumJames-on6ys sorry the west is trying to play catch up with China.
@LebumJames-on6ys typical sour grape from pa/jeets
@LebumJames-on6ysTheir paper Production techniques was founded in Germany in mid 13-th century gave you the light of Knowledge . Now they should return its fruitful income. The world knows Europe's history well.
@LebumJames-on6ysloser and bitter.
good for you👌
If this was Indian, wion and all the godis would be so proud and boastful...
A lot of unemployed Uber drivers world wide waiting to happen.
proud of poop smell everywhere
It better not be introduced here in India. Cuz the next day people will start spitting "Paan" and litter inside it.
haha
Yes 😂
WOW CONGRATS CHINA❤😮
While India is still busy on tuktuk 😂😂 technology.
You are talking about India what about Nigeria my country mmmmm
No....India is busy with Rickshaw
An air traffic control nightmare in the making
not really or else they would not green light it.
Low flights not high altitude. Very easy to controlled air traffic 🚥
That’s what the police said about cars when the Ford T-model came out.
This is a helicopter😂 flying car
In fact, this is just a large drone, you first have to set the location on the map, and then the plane will fly to the designated position, you can't do free piloting, but it's also very top-notch technology.
Imagine a cop trying to pull you over and you just flip him off and fly away !
He'll catch you in about 10 miles. When you're out of juice.
then the cop upload his GPS location to the company, and all the drones near by him just fly to police station!😂
Oh no, we are running out of battery
What’s difference with running out of gas? Lol
@@donkeykong516 bright response
So don't forget to bring powerbank together
it's nice that even with all the negative that happens on this planet other people are doing things like this for something positive I think this will become a world wide means of transportation
Ridiculous.
This will be a disaster
They said the same about combustion engine cars & EV cars. Lol. Technology changes the world, not politics
This is not car this is drone taking passenger
Obviously such remotely controlled vehicles will need very efficient and reliable communication. The Huawei technology probably would go some way to make this happen?
Not a car
It's basically an oversized drone.
China
"ooh flying taxis, supah powah"
really N.K.C - it only goes 18mph to travel 18 miles max range it takes an hour? if that is the case its pretty useless with the current tech batteries - maybe you get a short ride going slower than cars?
you cant even listening property .
I want one of these ... please take my money!!!
We’ve been waiting for years
You have shamed me today,as i was busy waiting for you to say there is a down side to these Chinese taxis , you ended the reporting. Shame on me.
so they reversed chopper basically. ok. interesting.
Just a big drone
It was big dream of my father in 1967 and next '68 he was died...:(
Wow
That accent!
اولین تکسی های هؤاهی چین در جهان - شروع بکار کردند 🌹❤️👏 .
Another cause!!??
What's the price
400000 dollar
The world needs to wake up we've been waiting for this for a long time flying taxicabs will be here by 2025 mass production worldwide I can't wait until the flying taxi cabs come out
Evidently making a fool of you DK - If you didn't realize it - a jet can fly about 200 miles without power if the power stops at 30,000 ft. A competent helicoper pilor can always make a pretty soft landing by autorotation which is without any power using the rotor to spin up from gravity. A Drone cannot; it will drop lie a lead brick if the computer or electrical system fails. You have zero chance of survival over 200 ft; unless you have a parachute in the drone.
No Drivers, No Pilots, No Captains, No CSA, no Bus / Train Drivers== JOB LOSSESS .
This is shocking to the West.
And threat to the world peace.
18 miles of shock? Genius you
Germany already created one before this.
@@plusultra7258 no because you are jealous and Indian. Save your 40 in the collapsed tunnel first. Had help arrived from Thailand yet?
Then the made in china kicks in 😂
lmao who can afford those taxi? i bet its much expensinve 😂
it will be affordable for the middle income group n above and there are more than 800m of them in China.
Same question they asked 100 years ago about cars.
Same question they asked 60 years ago about computers.
Same question they asked 30 years ago about mobile phones.
Yes, it will be affordable in the near future.
Good tdes❤❤
After 6 months, this will become " Falling Taxis"
Why 6 months? 6 minutes. Everything made in China breaks immediately. Just like their first "Home grown" commercial jet the Comac919 broke down during their first flights and they had to move the passenger to a boeing jet😆😁 At least with the comac919, Boeing and Airbus showed the Chinese how to make the plane and over 80% of the parts are made by them, not in China. It still took them like 15 years to build the piece of crap jet... You would have to be crazy to get in one of these made in China piece of shit.
6 months from now there will be hundreds of companies supply same or even better service at cheaper costs.
2 years from now it will be a common mode of transport everywhere in China.
5 years from now it will be export to everywhere in the world.
Yeah, Chinese will always advanced and make tons of money.
Rofl, I garuantee that 80% of the parts come from western companies. Don't forget that China can only do very low end manufacturing. All the high end parts come from the west. China only assembles parts with their slave labor. For example, China's new "home grown" jet the comac919 is made up of more than 80% parts from Boeing and Airbus. China is not advancing. They just steal the blueprints from companies order the parts and make their own shitty copy.😁😆😂@@merrick6484
Scary 😳💕😳
Time to buy Uber stock
Super
India has the best
Do not be delusional
So now we will see aerial accidents in the future.aerial ambulances and aerial fite,brigade too.
while india is flying naans.
It's not flying car but commercial drone
Where as in India still fighting Hindu vs Muslims ,mandir vs masjit ,spreading hatred like a corona in the name or religion ,caste colour. And modi and bjp trying to take back India to stone age😂😂😂. Kudos to China for advancing ahead of the world.
Our scientists can do one better than what the Chinese have achieved. Habe No Doubt about it.
Ishwar S. Badigannavar
I am sure you can do it after the talking which is going to take sometime!
Uncle Sam will envy😂
I'm not sure
That is not a car
Congratulations! Very innovative.
This posting is a bit old, but it is back in the news. China made air taxis but not air ambulances. Which one is more important?
Of course they are first to approve public EVTOLs.. They approved every EV company in country and now almost all of them are exploding.
this is very true
Cry more 😂😂😂🎉
@@antonymwangi4986 tears of laughter son
Us cant due to curruption killed electric sokar n hydrigen
Keep to left if not overtaking. Hahahaha
I wouldnt be surprised if China goes ahead of all countries due to how quickly they can copy and/or manufacture anything. Look at how good Huawei and Xiaomi decives are. Meanwhile Apple and Samsung - lets compete on who prices their phones higher!
China has leading technology, and others do not have it, and it is impossible for the world to copy technology that does not have it
who is copied this time?
only18miles
China is nothing compared t india...India had pushpak Viman 1000's of year ago....Jay shree ram
Flying taxies already running in Pakistan, just Google 😊
Amazing I wonder why wion not blaming it because it's from china it time to china India get together and prosper Sri Lanka
18 miles maxium range - probably without passengers? There is a major downside to anything such as this giant drone; if the computer or electrical systems fail - your dead. Planes can glide, helicopters can autorotate, these will need an auxilliary parachute to maintain any sort of emergency means of saving lives; but parachutes have little ability to be directed - away from water or an electrical powerline; they will have a predicably higher rate of death and injury.
18 miles per hour speed

@@Pierina.24found some Info... EHang 216-S two passenger eVTOL multicopter production model aircraft
The EHang 216-S is a two passenger eVTOL multicopter production model aircraft made for advanced air mobility (AAM). The cruise speed of the aircraft is 100 km/h (62 mph), has a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph) and has a maximum altitude of 3,000 m (9,843 ft). The range of the EHang 216 is 35 km (22 miles) and has a flight time of 21 minutes. The letter "S" is a common convention in the aviation and manufacturing industry denoting a production version of a product, indicating it has reached a stage of development suitable for manufacturing and commercial use.
The aircraft has 16 propellers, 16 electric motors and is powered by batteries. The battery recharging time is 120 minutes. The maximum payload of the aircraft is 220 kg (485 lb). The multicopter has a canopy over the cock and windows on doors providing excellent views for the passengers. The aircraft has gull-wing doors. The fuselage is made of carbon fiber composite for high strength to low weight ratio. The aircraft has fixed skid landing gear.
Some background of the EHang 216-S passenger multicopter aircraft
The EHang 216-S is based on the EHang 184 but has eight arms instead of four. These extra propellers and electric motors allows for the multicopter to hold two passengers instead of one. The single seat version is the EHang 116. In the summer of 2020, EHang was issued a Special Flight Operations Certificate for its 216 Logistics cargo drone.
The EHang 2160-S Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (“AAV”) was first announced in February 2018. Manned and unmanned flight testing was conducted in China in 2017, and a manned flight test with Dutch prince Pieter Christiaan took place at the Amsterdam Arena in April 2018.
In a July 2017 interview for CNBC, EHang co-founder Derrick Xiong stated that “at this moment we are working closely with Dubai and we have actually, together with them, we have done numerous tests internally. Also, we have basically done a lot of - many, many times - tests with a passenger on it, including the vice-mayor of Guangzhou City in China and also some governors from Dubai as well. We have done a lot of tests and we aim to do the very first public demo very soon this year.”

@@Pierina.24 more than good enough for city commuters .
@@nanyanguo1 Yep
This is going to generate some hilarious fail videos, that's all you can be sure of
Still India 🇮🇳 want to compete with China 🇨🇳 😂😂😂😂 1 out of 50😂😂😂
India next 😂
Idea is good but It's made in China.🤪
All this can happen becoz of Huawei `s 5G and the latest 5.5 G. Go China GO.
Hack knap
Kosovo is Serbia
And no tires 🛞 it’s not a car 😂
Absolute rubbish.
