Looks like the Rotor AI Company will put Helicopter Pilots out of business (unless you can fly a black box) I'm not laughing, more like crying ! |

Yeah, probably. It will be interesting though to see how they react when they can't harass the pilot and get them fired! |

I used to think the same thing about driverless taxis, but now they are all over the Phoenix area! |

Driverless cars are not going to happen in our lifetime. In California, a pedestrian crossing against a traffic light got struck by a car (with a human driver) that could not stop in time. Unfortunately, the person then fell or was knocked under the wheels of a self-driving taxi operated by a company called Cruise, which is owned by GM. The self-driving taxi did not immediately stop and dragged the pedestrian. Luckily it didn't kill her. And also luckily there were no passengers in the driverless taxi.
California subsequently yanked Cruise's permit to operate in the state. Then the CEO of Cruise quit. Then the co-founder and Chief Design Officer quit. Self-driving taxis are great in theory, not so great when those pesky unpredictable humans are around. Computers cannot predict every goofy thing that humans will do, like cross against a red light and get hit by a car and then get bunted under the driverless car that doesn't immediately detect them. The question then is: In a crowded urban area, what 'other' scenarios would a self-driving car do poorly in? And can we predict them? |

It might happen eventually, but if you're old enough to be on JH instead of another social media platform it probably won't affect you too much. |

exactly on the MTs. but we get it.
Gonna be awhile before the RC helicopters do more than observe and xmit back to humans and real helicopters. So much seems not to have beeen thought about I've adopted a wait and see.
Anyone want to hop on board a four motor drone and fly to center city? Autorotation? One motor quits? IMC? Icing? |
