The world's first passenger drone could soon fly brave riders at speed of up to 80 miles per hour.

EHang 216 uses 16 propellers to lift itself into the air and can carry two persons for 21 minutes at a time.

The company has spent years developing its autonomous technology.

Passengers would use a touchscreen to choose a destination up to 31 miles away and then be whisked off automatically by a command centre.

The chopper would be monitored at all times from a ground control room.

Pilotless flying cars could be operational as early as 2023. Would you dare to take a trip on a passenger drone?
