New Photos of Dubai's Flying Taxis Will Give You a Look at the Future of the City

We've been hearing about Dubai's new flying taxis for months now.

The two-passenger vehicles will operate without a pilot, and can fly up to 100km per hour. They're entirely electric, and the battery can be fully charged in just 40 minutes.

With reports that flying taxis will be in the city by the end of the year, Dubai has been running through last minute preparations to make sure the introduction of the new transportation is as seamless as possible.
