Named 5 of the problems preventing the launch of unmanned air Taxi

Consulting company Deloitte has listed the main obstacles, not giving to develop the technology of unmanned flying taxi. Analysts see major interference in the technological factors, without taking into consideration such a serious moment, as the psychological barriers passengers in this mode of transport and regulatory aspects.
Improvement of flying drones should, in the first place, to concern the efficiency of the apparatus. Because prototypes of such vehicles can hardly travel long distances without recharging. In addition, the device is still very poorly oriented in space, unable to evade the emerging static and moving obstacles. To improve the assessment system of the environment, scientists and engineers must pay attention to the modernization of sensors and sensors of the machine and, of course, carefully consider artificial intelligence. This problem leads to the following – the inability to avoid collisions in the air. Experts say that to improve the situation it is necessary to improve the technology of microwaves, allowing to identify and assess the environmental objects, to navigate in adverse weather conditions and on rough terrain.
Another obstacle is the need to establish a thorough system of traffic control in the air. It is necessary to combine the navigation of unmanned air vehicles with control of movement of air transport that exists today.
In addition, engineers need to work on reducing the noise produced by the flying machine. Today in the cabin of the vehicle can be only in special headphones (as in helicopter).
In early 2019, Boeing has conducted tests of unmanned air taxi Boeing NeXt. However, the machine could only climb into the air, hold in this position for some time and land on the place. At the same time Arab Emirates airline has announced that by 2020 will launch self-driving taxi to flying first class, which will ply the route from the capital of the UAE to the nearest airport.
