You bet! although it might result into a small unemployment, it would be in the greater good of the humans in the long run in my opinion. I just hope that this project really gets through and gets the words out there because that is the only thing that is needed now; to be able to educate other people about the great ideologies of this project.
DRONE-UTM will be AI driven. Hence, the human intervention will be minimal. We will have very smart human beings teach the algorithm how to learn by itself. It will take 3-4 years to reach a degree of autonomy that the AI module will be able to make decisions on its own to control the drone traffic. Till then human intervention will be required.
We'll have the beta version of DRONE-UTM deployed by end of this year. Level of autonomy will increase with time.
some good thing really takes some time to finish, this kind of project requires perfection before it goes out in public. Safety of the public is more important , this project can't afford any mistakes. i hope by the time deep aero drones are ready , there won't be any problems with the law on its operation.
