NASA Plans : Self Flying Aircrafts

At this time we are on the way to make the dream comes true of 'Self Driving Cars'. But NASA Plans something different "Self-Flying Planes" which might seem so far off, but NASA wants to make them happen.

The first study explores "safe inclusion and certification of autonomous systems in aviation" -- or, to the rest of us, self-flying aircraft. This project will fully focus on the algorithms of the system which is necessary for safe decisions without any Human interaction.

Today, three different aeronautics teams received the go ahead to explore projects related to unmanned autonomous aircraft.

NASA also green-lit a project that will autonomously verify that a drone is fit to fly before it takes off. If the program senses an anomaly (such as damage to a system or hacked software), the drone will ground itself. Finally, the third team will research advances in quantum computing in order to better regulate and monitor the many drones that fly each day.

However, some Drone maker companies also planning to launch drone taxis. Now we just have to wait and see how much time it takes to come in reality...
