Abu Dhabi UAE: Driverless Air Taxi Drone May Soon Fly


Built in China, the electric EHang 184 is designed to pick up and deliver passengers on up to 30-minute rides in busy cities. According publicity, the one-rider vehicle, called a quadcopter, will contribute greatly to reducing busy city traffic and gasoline-produced air congestion.

After testing in Abu Dhabi for several months, further plans call for it to go into daily use later this year. The city is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, and welcomed nearly 15 million visitors last year.

Indoor skydiver

If you’re vacationing in Sin City and getting tired of the gambling tables and machines, and need a bit of relief from all the buffets, try Vegas Indoor Skydiving. You need to be in good physical shape and there are health restrictions, but no age limits. People in their 80s have enjoyed the ride and happily returned for more.

For $75, they’ll put you in a puffy flight suit, given some basic flying instructions and guided into the indoor wind tunnel. For about 20 minutes, you’ll have the wonderful sensation of being one of the three flying P’s: Harry Potter, Peter Pan or Mary Poppins. For more information, ask at your hotel front desk or go to www.vegasindoorskydiving.com
