Watch: Dubai Tests Flying Taxi Drone For Future Ride-Hailing Service

Dubai is living up to its promises. The Future City said in June it would test flying taxis this year, and it followed through on Monday. Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority announced it successfully tested autonomous taxi drones in the city. Volocopter, the German company that built the flying drones, said this week's test is the "first-ever public flight of an autonomous urban air taxi." The test, which did not include a passenger, successfully lifted, flew and landed the unmanned air taxi.
