Drones were developed for military purposes during the First World War and have since undergone significant advancements. Their usage has extended beyond the military domain and is now popularly utilized for photography and videography.
In recent years, drone technology has been further developed, leading to the creation of drone taxis. These taxis have been granted operating licenses in several countries, including the United States, Dubai, and Israel. They are designed to cover long and short distances and are powered by hydrogen fuel or electric batteries, thus ensuring environmentally sustainable transportation.
Drone taxis are steadily gaining popularity as commuters seek alternative modes of transportation and cities become increasingly congested. Companies are investing in the development of drone taxis, while governments are simultaneously taking steps to build the necessary infrastructure and support systems to facilitate their usage.
The global drone taxi market has been segmented into range, propulsion, autonomy, and region. Drone taxis mainly rely on hydrogen fuel, which makes them eco-friendly and suitable for long-distance travel due to their high weight-to-energy ratio. Fully automated drones with GPS devices dominate the taxi market for accurate navigation.
