Betting on Autonomous

In early October, Boeing announced that they were purchasing a company called Aurora Flight Sciences. Aurora’s goal and focus is based on autonomous flight and robotic aircraft. The company has recently been developing a vertical take-off landing craft that is being funded by the United States Air Force.

Once the transaction goes into effect, Aurora will continue to operate independently as it designs and produces autonomous aircraft, with a goal to hand the world autonomous flying cars or flights without pilots. For example, Aurora has a plan for autonomous aerial taxi vehicles. Boeing says they see this as an opportunity to push a self-flying vehicle agenda, both for commercial and military use.

Nashville, Tennessee has become a city that many people consider the heartbeat of industrial America. Why? Falling development costs, of course! The overall cost of installing and producing solar panels has changed, and the sunny side to this is a growing complex of green power helping to fuel our country.
