Drone Taxi System for Ground-Level Personal Transportation

Abstract

Systems and methods for a drone taxi system for ground-level transportation are disclosed. The system includes a multi-rotor drone apparatus capable of carrying individuals at low altitudes, approximately 1-2 feet off the ground. The system includes advanced stabilization and obstacle detection capabilities, a secure harness with a quick-release mechanism, and an inflatable safety vest that activates during emergencies. Controlled via a smartphone application, the system enables users to request drone rides, map routes, and view trip status in real-time. The drone ensures safe and efficient transit over short distances, combining the functionality of ride-sharing platforms with the experience of low-altitude travel. This system addresses urban mobility challenges, offering a safe, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional ground-based transportation methods while minimizing risks and maximizing convenience for users.
