What would people give the odds we achieve a world of autonomous flying drone transport for local travel before a world of autonomous self-driving cars?
It seems right now like we’re really close with self-driving cars but objectively flying ones would be a lot better:
Shorter distances to travel (point to point), easier to implement collision avoidance, faster, no need for this crazy infrastructure we build/maintain of roads, bridges, traffic lights, tunnels, snow plows, street cleaners, etc...
- philipodonnell 9y agoI believe the failure modes are a bigger concern for flight-based vehicles.
- orasis 9y agoDrones are far too loud.
- icebraining 9y agoDrones don't have to be quad/octocopters. I'd love to see a self-driving electric paraplane.
