Remotely controlled vehicles used to require substantial skill to operate. As modern computing has been integrated into these devices, some are becoming capable of flying/driving fully autonomously. What fascinating new possibilities and products does this enable, and what pitfalls do we need to be sure to avoid? 

 

Panelists will be given approximately 5 minutes to speak about their areas of interest, focus and concern with regard to drones. The diverse backgrounds of the panelists is intentional to give the public a well rounded look at the various issues facing different sectors.

 

After the initial intro talks, we will open the floor for audience questions.
