Apart from the usual smartphones, tablets and cameras, another fairly interesting CES 2016 find came with the EHANG 184, the world's first Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV). EHANG usually make quadrocopter drones, and the EHANG 184 is a giant quadrocopter (with 8 motors) that can carry a person (not more than 220 lbs).
In addition, the EHANG 184 flies itself, as it has an onboard autonomous system that lets you select a route with just a tap of the touchscreen. We're not certain how smart the system is though because if you select to land on an uneven mountaintop you may likely have a very big crash and fall but according to EHANG they've focused on absolute safety for the 184.
The EHANG 184 is completely electric and is thunderstorm-proof but is expected to cost from $200000 (RM884590) to $300000 (RM1326885). No Malaysia release dates yet but we don't expect it to arrive here legally anytime soon.
