SEOUL, Nov. 11 (UPI) — South Korea offered a glimpse of a sci­ence-fic­tion future on Wednes­day with a demon­stra­tion flight of a two-seat drone taxi in Seoul, as the gov­ern­ment out­lined ambi­tious plans to com­mer­cial­ize urban air trav­el by 2025.

At an event held next to the Han Riv­er near Yeoui­do, a finance and bank­ing dis­trict in the heart of Seoul, a two-seat drone pro­duced by Chi­nese man­u­fac­tur­er EHang buzzed qui­et­ly over­head for about sev­en min­utes at an alti­tude of over 150 feet.
