But that's not uniquely a drone problem. Aren't modern mortar shells wicked accurate?the trigonometry that governs them has been known for centuries.

- gruez 8y agoi can't imagine how unguided shells can be that accurate, especially if you only have one shot. trigonometry helps, but there are way too many unknowns (mainly atmospheric cconditions) for it to work perfectly.

- mikec3010 8y agoReminds me of the fallacy that Autonomous vehicles need to be absolutely infallible, when in fact they only need to have fewer fatalities per mile than humans.
