And they communicate in real time while individually checking their collision sensors for non swarm obstacles. The technology is 100% there, the flight capabilities do not matter nor the fact it’s a passenger vehicle; we have the algorithm and sensor packages right now to do what you think is a hundred years away.
You completely glossed over the small, agile part.
A drone can do a fucking barrel roll with zero impact on its flight capabilities or passengers. Have fun with passengers when an automated passenger drone needs to quickly change thrust direction because of wind shear.
That’s a matter of changing the PID compensations, it’s not a difficult problem. Do you think all drones can do a barrel roll? There are nonagile drones in operation right now, in swarm configurations. Not as large as a car, but again, that’s a matter of tweaking the PID, nothing more or less.
To put it another way you don’t restart learning how to drive a car each time you drive a new car. You tweak your internal pids to that of the new car. The difference is humans are stupid, slow, and have terrible coordination that can’t be immediately transferred over a fleet.
Drone swarms are groups of small, agile devices with no passengers.
