And since they will be offering something new. They want passengers to feel safe by equipping every flying taxi with backup batteries and rotors, as well as a pair of parachutes.

Volocopter chief Florian Reuter said the current model “is capable of flying based on GPS routes,” but the company plans to “implement full detection capability” in the future. It will ensure that the machine can avoid obstacles and avoid colliding with other taxis along the way. If all goes well, you could take a Volocopter trip in Dubai within the next five years.
