Silicon Valley is taking a (careful) step toward autonomous flying. “There are many things that must come to fruition before autonomous aircraft start flying people. But we are developing the technology that can take us there,” said Mark Groden, a co-founder and the chief executive of SkyRyse, a Silicon Valley start-up that wants to augment small helicopters and other passenger aircraft with hardware and software that allow for autonomous flight. Last week, at a tiny airport near San Francisco, a helicopter lifted gently into the air. It looked like any other #helicopter, except for the small black cube attached to its nose. Local officials spent the week testing it for a new emergency service that will respond to 911 calls via the air. Today, the helicopter is flown by seasoned pilots. But the new emergency service will be operated by SkyRyse, which outfitted the aircraft with 360-degree cameras and radar sensors as part of its testing effort. The motivation is obvious: Pilots are expensive, and they need rest between flights. Autonomous flight can drive new kinds of passenger services or even change the economics of today’s airlines. But any path will take a while, for technical and cultural reasons. Visit the link in our profile to read more, and to see more photos by @jasonhenry, who photographed Mark here. #?
