The EH216 is a manned autonomous electric aerial vehicle independently developed by EHang that can be used for public transportation,<br />
tourism, logistics, medical emergencies and more. The EH216 adheres to the core design concept of automatic flying, fully backed up<br />
security design, intelligent command, and dispatch cluster management. Passengers do not need to fly the vehicle. They just need to<br />
select the flight destination with one button to takeoff and then sit back and enjoy the journey.<br />
