INC. (July/August Issue)
“Fully autonomous–that is, self-driving–cars remain years away. But we may soon inhabit a world where 80 percent of all parcels are delivered by other autonomous vehicles. Pharmacy and cannabis orders, groceries, and on-demand entertainment could come to you not in full-size cars and trucks, but rather in robots, high-tech carriages, wagons (yep, just like the one you had as a kid), and drones.”

The Economist (December 29)
“Make no mistake, fully automated drones—integrated into the next generation of Air Traffic Control—will one day be capable of navigating, communicating and avoiding other craft while flying autonomously in congested airspace. It will not happen this year or next. But a decade hence delivery by drone could well be common place.”
