The Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai has announced plans to launch a unmanned passenger drone program in July.

The Chinese-made eHang 184 is capable of carrying a passenger that weighs up to 220 pounds, has a flight time of about 30 minutes, and can travel up to 30 miles. The modern marvel would be controlled remotely from a command center.

This new aircraft was unveiled at the 2016 CES tech fair in Las Vegas.
