This drone aircraft designed to carry human passengers around may have been designed in China, but it'll test out its ability to ferry people around in Nevada. At least, it will be soon—if the company building it can work out a couple of kinks first.

Late last month, the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems announced they had entered into a deal with Chinese-based EHang, Inc. to allow the drone manufacturer to develop its EHang 184 drone at the state's UAS test site.

The EHang 184, which made its world debut at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, can carry one person up to 10 miles, according to the company. The only control the passenger has is an app on his or her smartphone that he/she uses to input the desired destination; once the occupant is strapped in, the craft autonomously flies itself. If something goes wrong, a human operator will take control of the craft from a remote location.

That's how it will work in theory, at least. So far, however, Ehang hasn't revealed a full-scale, fully operational version of the electrically-powered 184. (It has apparently done quite a bit of work developing and occasionally crashing prototypes, as you can see in the video below)
