I learned about a new demo by Sky Drive Inc, model SD-03, on Toyota test 
field in Japan, shown on August 31st, 2020.

https://www.lifo.gr/now/tech_science/294406/iaponia-epandromeno-iptameno-aytokinito-petakse-me-epityxia-pote-tha-vgei-stin-paragogi-vinteo

(the content of the URL is in Greek)

There is a person on-board who pilots the flight (he is not just 
transported like in e.g. Ehang demo).

The article says production is epxected by year 2023.
