Picture this: a farmer steps out onto his porch at dawn, coffee in hand, and instead of trudging through muddy fields to check on his crops, he glances at his phone. A fleet of drones has already swept over his land overnight, snapping high-resolution images and crunching data with artificial intelligence to tell him exactly which patches need water, where pests are lurking, and how his yields are shaping up.
Drone technology, initially associated with niche hobbies and military applications, is now making a serious push into the logistics sector, poised to reshape supply chains and the labour market in unexpected ways. However, not all changes bring sunshine and progress.
In the burgeoning field of urban air mobility, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing vehicles) heralds a transformative era. These aircraft, poised to redefine urban transportation, are not mere figments of futuristic imagination but tangible manifestations of advanced technology. AI’s role is multifaceted, underpinning crucial aspects such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and split-second decision making.
