German startup Volocopter will shuttle passengers in its futuristic, flying taxi in Dubai before the end of the year. Volocopter has signed a deal with Dubai's Road and Transport Authority to begin testing the flying taxi in the fourth-quarter of 2017. The tests will last five years.
Unlike the previous plan of using one-seater unmanned autonomous air taxis, the authority will utilise two-seater vehicles that have an autopilot or autonomous flying feature but will be manned.
