Drones for organ transport

Tesla develops the hardware for self driving

Important takeaways:
– Tesla considers LIDAR as a bad technology for self driving
– Tesla cars and the required neural networks for self driving are becoming very good because they collect a lot of data and can retrain the networks for all kind of exceptions. This is for Defence a enormous problem because we operate in a non structured world where very little structural data acquisition is being done… so even with the best hardware, we probably won’t be able to have self driving vehicles that can operate cross country and in the unusual conditions we find in operations.

US Airforce Software Experimentation Lab to drive innovation

Software drives the future battlefield and an adaptive organisation needs to be able to quickly modify or create new software to addres this. This demands agile development and a client oriented approach.
Love this concept, combining this with flexible insourcing of talent could be a (better?) alternative than the system currently used by us.
