There has been a ton of new stuff to post about drones, but I just haven't had the time recently. Let's start here with yet another link to Danger Room, which is currently discussing the Navy's new drone at some length. But here's a look first:
As the article has it, the proprietary software allows the drone pilots to program where they want the drone to go. "Then they go off to get a sandwich."
The big deal for the Navy, whose creature this is, is that they are really really hoping to be able to launch and land one these things off the deck of an aircraft carrier.
My question after watching the thing in in action is the same one it always is: Doesn't anybody besides the Apple ad guys remember HAL?
