Hey Hound Dog , nice links . It's nice to see the research that's being done to get the commercial drones ready to be integrated into flying with all the other regular traffic up there . Just like the self driving cars , once they teach the computer enough of every possible flight condition it could ever encounter , sure I think we'll have not only smallish drones flying BLOS delivering Amazon packages , I think in the somewhat further future there will be things like full sized non human piloted cargo planes and even ocean going ships totally run without direct human intervention . I wouldn't be surprised if the initial systems do have a human monitor though , watching over dozens or even hundreds of autonomous craft , ready to supply that human decision in the super rare case that the computer can't figure it out for itself .
