Delivery drones and air taxis near commercial rollout; key task is response after failure
As commercial use of delivery drones and air taxis draws closer, securing safety after an aircraft failure has emerged as a key task, researchers said. Queensland University of Technology researchers said that as autonomous aircraft increase over cities, a system to respond safely after a failure is essential. They cited a drone show in Sydney where about 90 drones fell. They said emergency response must rapidly detect risks, choose the least dangerous option and guide the aircraft safely.
