Thousands of large drones crisscrossing the skies.

That will happen some day, but likely not right around the corner. The technology will be there before the FAA catches up, right now there’s no path to certify a BLOS or autonomous aircraft. Until then, there are substantial constraints on where and how you can operate. They certainly won’t be whizzing over metro areas anytime soon.

San Carlos, Bay Area — Brand new 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E suffers terrifying malfunction: steering wheel locks, accelerator pegged, car veers toward wall before smashing into another vehicle.

Driver says no way to stop — Ford now faces potential multi-million-dollar lawsuit.

I saw that video, pretty much what everyone’s worried about with autonomous vehicles. It will also be a good legal test, because if in fact the vehicle took over and the driver was unable to control, now Ford is liable. I think llegal liability will be a big sticking point if the manufacturers start getting sued for every accident.
