Saudi Arabia has launched a self-driving flying taxi, the EH216-S, to transform transportation for Hajj pilgrims.
The EH216-S is the world’s first licensed aerial taxi, approved by a civil aviation authority.
The flying taxi is electric, reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation.
The EH216-S uses artificial intelligence and has pre-programmed flight paths for efficiency and safety.
The flying taxi initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aiming to modernize the transport sector and promote eco-friendly technologies.
The flying taxi service is operational during the Hajj season, transporting pilgrims between holy sites.
The service may expand to other areas, including NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s futuristic megacity.
