    Logistics drones /w AI seems like a real solid use. Identifying and avoiding static obstacles while navigating to a set point will be their primary job. Send them to resupply the front line where a truck/driver might get targeted by a drone.

      they couldn’t handle a large capacity though. a truck can handle thousands of times the volume

      they wouldn’t be much use for ammo or anything heavy like that: they’d pretty much be able to deliver meals and nothing else… perhaps repair parts for small things

      i do know that they’ve setup logistics networks in africa with fixed-wing drones to deliver things like blood and medicine to hospitals, so that could be a good use for fixed wing drones - they need range and speed

    AI powered ? So no need for batteries or fuel ? Yes, this is how it is called, but in my opinion it should be “a.i. guided” or “a.i. controlled” …

    P.S. : Many thanks to Germans for this amongst other help.

      It’s a new technology. See, there’s a tiny little AI robot in there with a little pedal machine that turns the wheels.

      Maybe it’s powered by Strong AI? That would make it extremely powerful… or strong… or something?
