Per CNET:
The EHang 184 AAV is a one-person pod lifted by eight rotors mounted in pairs on four folding arms -- thus the number 184. Announced Wednesday at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, the battery-powered aircraft is designed to carry a passenger for 23 minutes at about 60 miles per hour. The machine pilots itself.

Again just a rendering. I wonder if any real engineering or prototyping has been done.

There's a video that has a few short clips at the end of it flying. The last shots are obviously CGI PR but I think there are some actual real shots in there.
