The drone still needs a pilot. Someone certified will still need to do a preflight inspection to make sure there aren’t cracks in the prop, loose wiring, issues with the frame, that the batteries aren’t exhibiting any dangerous behavior (Puffed lithium cells), etc. Nothing in the mechanical world is perfect and you’re going to need some oversight of that.


Webcams in the drone bay with self diagnostics for internals, in the roof of a shopping center with fiber to a cheap control center a few msec away.


No idea why you are getting downvoted, automatic inspection is obviously where we are going.
