Whats the point? Why build a vehical where the passenger is at the mercy of some far away C2 center? Truely autonomous vehicals are already here and being used quite sucessfully in a number of civilian and military applications. In my opinion Ehang 184 doesn't fulfill any need that smaller less expensive vehicles can do right now. OP hit the nail on the head when he said its a 'toy' and I agree, this Ehang contraption is a novelty toy for small rich people.

I can buy a very capable drone with close to the same flight time for under $200.00 on amazon.
