The Ehang 184 has 8 propellers, two for each of the four quad points. I'd assume the reason is safety, that it can limp to the ground with just 7. You're wrong

You're wrong about a quadcopter not being able to fly with 3 rotors, see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsHryqnvyYA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsHryqnvyYA
That looks like it would be quite a ride with a human on-board, but would probably suck less than crashing.
