The air traffic control issues are surely the easiest aspect of the whole thing. It's just a large 3D pathfinding problem, the kind of thing computers eat for breakfast. I don't think anyone imagines they'd be manually flown.
- aurizon 10y agoOne of the problems with denser and denser air traffic control is you can only speed up the computers. The flying objects still have speed, altitude, inertia etc and that sort of multipath problem (called the salesman's problem) soon becomes intractably complex. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem
