Autonomous Flying Systems
summary
Cargo deliveries with Walmart and blood and medicine runs in Africa are already running at scale using onboard AI and fleet software; a commercial drone standard built by Auterion is deployed by retailers and governments. Systems are moving from stick‑piloted craft to autonomous swarms that need interoperable comms, but NATO standards lag and bridging the gap will take hundreds of millions to billions. A user study shows 80% of Americans favor drone delivery and ~60% will pay for a landing pad.
