No. I also thought that even a 95% success rate wouldn't be good enough for airplanes.

I just assumed it was developed by Boeing.

Thank you for starting my week with a good laugh!

As a rule of thumb, airplanes subsystems are expected to have 99.99999% reliability, so the whole gets 99.9999%.

Airline airplanes are currently more than one order of magnitude better than this. But if you have that, you can claim your plane works.

It's very much enough for drones tho... all you need is a tiny Jensen's chip, moped engine, some boom boom play-doh and you're ready to rock. No remote control needed.

the AI part is simple. getting past GPS jamming and optical dazzlers so that drone AI can function is hard.

Drones are expensive. Solid six figures expensive. And they are used around or on things that are even more expensive. You wouldn't want ChatGPT piloting them.

Under $50k for a Geran-2 level drone.

An autonomous Flock drone costs $275k per year:

Much more for an oil rig platform surveillance drone. And if it crashes into something important, more expensive still.

we can do it once we know how they work. which will be never.
