By Nicole Raz, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The nation’s first passenger-carrying drone manufacturing company is coming to test its system in Nevada.
EHang Inc., a company headquartered in Guangzhou, China, is developing a drone capable of carrying passengers. A passenger would enter a destination into the drone system’s accompanying smartphone app.
The Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems, a state nonprofit group sponsored by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, will work to help EHang test and develop its system, officials said this week.
