Self destruct after X hours?

• jjwiseman 11y ago
  The Syrian Airlift Project, which used drones to send aid to refugees and besieged civilians in Syria, added a "self-destruct mechanism that destroys the autopilot if a crash is imminent in Syria, reducing the risk of later weaponization by bad actors" and the potential leak of sensitive information.

    Unfortunately we never got to actually operate jjwiseman, though that was our goal. Lots of lessons learned and definitely brought out the best in each of us. Thanks for sharing on HN!

      That's too bad. Is there a writeup of the conclusion of the project?
