Author:Would you be transported?

HEMS obsolete?  Someone at the scene pushes a button and he helicopter autonomously flies to the site, is loaded with a patient and transported to the hospital?  Sound impossible, perhaps not.

As a patient or as a tour passenger. I prefer unmanned. Humans are much too susceptible to error. If you prioritize the computer logic to fly and have a safe outcome it will. We are programmed to make money and increase our social standing. Our EGO and our want to make money get in the way of safety. There's very few pilots who are confident and comfortable in their skin. Most want to keep raising the bar for recognition. The computer pilot isn't that fickle. Put me in the unmanned aircraft please.

ask the military what their crash rate is for that technology. Nobody has more experience with this and their answer might give you pause.

The link you provide talks about a utily platform for crop spraying etc. No mention of pax being carried. FAA regs don't currently permit what you suggest.

To believe that it will never happen means you have your head in the sand and cannot fathom what might happen in the future. 

How many other things have they said will not happen end up being common practice? In 1903 the New York Times had an article that stated it will take from one million to ten million years to have powered flight. Nine weeks later the Wright Borthers flew at Kittyhawk.

There is no way an autonomous machine could do anything remotely off airport. Both engineering wise and certainly FAA cert wise. What about high density airspace? You think approach is going to knock airliners off their approach corridors for this thing to come bumbling through not communicating? Dumbest idea ever

None of us reading this will ever see a real patient transported by an un-piloted helicopter. We can't even get an electronic flight book at my employer.

I think it will work very well until the computer controlling everthing farts, then it won't work.
