Beijing: China has issued licenses to two companies to operate autonomous passenger drones, marking a significant step toward the development of the commercial flying taxi industry.
According to reports, Chinese regulators have granted the licenses to the companies as part of efforts to accelerate the growth of the low-altitude economy, which includes technologies ranging from delivery drones to blimps and flying cars.
It is worth noting that in 2016, Chinese company EHang Incorporated developed the world’s first passenger drone, named EHang 184.
