In this episode, we dive into the FAA's evolving approach to approving waivers and exemptions for complex drone operations, including beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), 1:many operations, and broadly airspace integration over the past 18 months. Joining us again is Charlton Evans, a trusted expert in FAA drone regulations, who last appeared on episode #35.Charlton explains the significant shift in how drone OEMs and operators approach the type certification requirement in the U.S. Traditionally, the process involved going through the FAA's Durability & Reliability (D&R) process, which often took four to five years, as seen with companies like Matternet and Percepto. However, since mid-2023, the FAA has introduced a streamlined 44807 type certification exemption process through the Flight Standards Office, focusing on self-declaration. Charlton walks us through this new process, notable waivers, and his expectations for the upcoming Part 108 rulemaking.We also explore the growing adoption of drone-in-a-box systems, particularly following DJI's launch of the DJI Dock 2, and finish with a discussion on AI use cases in general aviation.

“When I was ten or twelve, I thought wouldn't it be great if I found myself participating in the birth of a technology at that right time when that technology is being born. Drone technology for me is this. It is extremely challenging but fascinating to participate in the birth of a new industry.” While the delivery by drone of pizza to your high-rise window may still be far off, listen in while Andreas talks about the challenges that drone delivery is solving today. The episode covers how Matternet has been able to find its niche delivering time-critical medical products and how Matternet is thinking about expanding in the future. Andreas also shares advice for entrepreneurs especially in learning how to build and scale a hardware startup.
Our guest today is Charlton Evans, founder and CEO of End State Solutions, a firm focused on certification and airworthiness for drones and other forms of advanced air mobility. Given some of the recent milestones and rumors about drone regulations in the United States, we thought you would appreciate a discussion on the hot topics in FAA drone regulations from a true subject matter expert, whose firm recently helped Matternet receive the industry's first drone type certification. We covered a lot of ground with Charlton, starting with the first unmanned aircraft type certifications in the restricted category in 2013 and ways in which those operations failed to properly address the needs of the oil&gas industry at the time. We then followed regulatory and industry milestones to present day, discovering along the way the remaining challenges and opportunities facing the drone industry.Charlton assigns responsibility to both the FAA and the industry for the state of commercial drone adoption among enterprises. Since 2013, there have been fewer champions within the FAA doing the heavy lift to tackle advanced air mobility and drive integration of drones into the national airspace system – resulting in a natural bureaucratic filter to innovation at the FAA. At the same time, the industry is still notorious for not coming to the table with fully developed products and concepts of operations. The gap between rigorous safety-centric FAA processes and the spirit of rapid innovation borrowed from the tech world still exists but is definitely closing as both the industry and regulators gain more experience from ongoing projects and initial operations. There is a ton of insights from this deep dive with Charlton, but let us highlight a few: you'll hear what Charlton means by “any change is a change” or “ there is no certification by obvious”, how the FAA needs to get more comfortable with an appropriate assessment of risk, what three things type certification applicants need to bring to the table, how appropriate the durability & reliability type certification process really is, the black hole of 21.17(b) certification, in what ways drones and Light Sport Aircraft are similar, opportunities for innovation, and of course advice for entrepreneurs. As mentioned, Charlton Evans is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of End State Solutions, a firm focused on certification and airworthiness for AAM, drone delivery, HAPS and RPAS. Charlton was a Harrier Pilot and Tactical Air Controller in the Marine Corps and still flies for business and pleasure as a commercial pilot. Charlton has led several successful civil and military drone certifications as well as historic BVLOS flight operations. Recently End State Solutions assisted with the FAA type certification of the Matternet M2 delivery drone. Charlton also led historic linear infrastructure and disaster response flights with the type certified ScanEagle UAS that resulted in the induction of ScanEagle N202SE into the Smithsonian Institute in 2016. Today End State Solutions is considered a trusted advisor by both industry and FAA, engaged across the spectrum of Type, Production, Operational approvals as well as regulatory affairs – building relationships that build trust and products that are trusted through certificationWe hope you'll enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

Join Greg and Haye in talking with Andreas Raptopolous, Founder and CEO of Matternet. In this episode, we discuss healthcare deliveries with UAS and what FAA certifications are needed for a company like Matternet to operate legally and safely.
In this week's drone news: Matternet, a medical drone delivery platform has received type and production certification from the FAA, DJI updates their data security following all the buzz about data security with Chinese company DJI, and the FCC database, amongst other things, has shown a new DJI Mini 3. Let's get to it!
In this episode we're speaking with Jim O'Sullivan, VP Regulatory Strategy and Special Projects at Matternet. In case you missed it, Matternet became the first commercial delivery drone manufacturer to receive type certification from the FAA in September 2022. This is an important industry milestone because, according to the FAA, operators that want to provide a regular commercial delivery service beyond visual line of sight need to run their operations under a Part 135 air carrier operating license…and this in turn requires type certified drones. So, we asked Jim to join us and talk about the drone type certification process: what it looks like, how long it took, all the twists and turns along the way, including the remaining challenge of certifying so called associated elements, meaning all parts of the drone system that do not fly, such as the ground control station and the datalink. We also talk about the commercial drone industry broadly: state of the market today and upcoming milestones. And for those of you thinking about starting a drone business, you'll want to hear Jim's advice.

Europa decide que apostará a tope por el hidrógeno / Dronepuertos / Tesla fabrica su car un millón / Los robos de criptomoneda alcanzan los 10.000 millones / Europa se prepara para apostar por el hidrógeno a nivel industrial. La Comisión Europea adoptará muchos de los puntos que propone la industria alemana, central en la toma de estas decisiones. Planea que las dos próximas décadas sean de hidrogenación de industria y transporte. Los políticos no quieren repetir la dependencia del petróleo. Se espera que África sea, junto al mercado doméstico, el gran proveedor de hidrógeno para Europa en el futuro. Os dejo un paper con pronósticos y datos. Japón inaugura la mayor instalación de generación de hidrógeno, que será capaz de producir hasta 1.200 Nm3 cada hora (metros cúbicos normalizados) de este gas, utilizando energías renovables. — Curiosamente, no muy lejos de la central nuclear de Fukushima. Usando la calculadora, me sale que son unos 108 kilogramos de hidrógeno cada hora. Esto es aproximadamente el depósito de unos 18-20 coches con motor de este tipo. “Dronepuertos” listos para instalar es la nueva idea de Matternet con su sus “estaciones” con las que pretende crear un sistema de mini-aeropuertos con rutas establecidas, y zonas de carga y descarga seguras para drones. Tienen forma de “chimenea/colmena”. — Curiosísimo. Las reseñas del nuevo dron PowerEggX pintan muy bien, con un excelente apartado de funcionalidades. Las ideas locas de Honda en los años 60 a 80. Durante décadas, el fundador de la compañía japonesa celebró con sus trabajadores concursos de ideas para revolucionar el transporte: coches que subían paredes, motos enanas que se doblan, y otras locuras de todo tipo. Tesla fabrica su coche número 1.000.000. Uno de los nuevos Model Y ha tenido el honor de cumplir este hito en el fabricante de automóviles. El 40% de casi todas estas ventas tuvieron lugar en 2019. El robo de criptomonedas roza los 10.000 millones de dólares desde 2017, según un estudio de KPMG, debido a los diversos fallos de seguridad aparecidos en los servicios de gestión de carteras digitales. Un punto clave a mejorar si queremos adopción masiva de este tipo de servicios. Una parte de todos estos robos se producen desde Corea del Norte, cuyo gobierno ha creado una nueva fuente de financiación encontrando sistemas vulnerables para robar criptomonedas. El teletrabajo coge fuerza como necesidad ante las infecciones. Pero tiene algunos inconvenientes y cambio de actitudes que son necesarias si vas a convertirlo en algo rutinario.

Swiss Post Halts Drone Delivery Services, Everdrone Makes its First Drone Delivery, DJI News, DJI's New FPV Transmission System, DJI Osmo Mobile 3, Drone Usage Results in Rising Worker Safety Swiss Post Halts Drone Delivery Services Our first drone news story this week is about Swiss Post halting their drone delivery services. Swiss Post, in association with Matternet, had completed nearly 3,000 flights. However, recently, they experienced their second drone crash. While the parachute safety system was deployed, the tether was cut off by the spinning propeller. Fortunately, a crisis was averted as the drone crashed barely 50 feet from a school playground. This incident certainly highlights the need for better parachute safety systems. Regular ADU listeners might recall our past show, "Parachute for Drone | Will Flying Drone over People Become Possible in Future?". In this show, we had highlighted why ballistic parachutes are necessary for a 100% fail-safe solution. Everdrone completes its First Drone Delivery using GPS-Free Drones Our next story is also about drone delivery services, albeit an encouraging one. A Swedish company, Everdrone has completed its first drone delivery by transporting medical packages between two hospitals. Uniquely enough, GPS-free drones equipped with ADS-B receivers were used for this job. DJI's New FPV Transmission System and Osmo Mobile 3 Next, we move on to some of the latest and most exciting DJI News. DJI has launched its all-new Digital FPV Transmission System. This new system comes with higher latency, which results in a more detailed and sharper view. Is DJI gearing up to launch an FPV drone next? DJI has also made an FCC filing for the Osmo Mobile 3. Initial reports reveal that the new Osmo Mobile 3 will be lighter, have a foldable design, and come with a USB-C connection. What is the Reason Behind Rising Industrial Drone Uses?

In this week's drone news, we discuss some of the most exciting and exciting drone developments from across the globe. Our first big story is about a safety report citing the massive increase in drone incidents across the UK. According to this report, 125 dangerously close encounters were reported in 2018 - a massive spike over 2017. Is that data alarming? We recall the "alleged" sightings in Gatwick, Heathrow, and Newark to discuss how there is a tendency to make drones the scapegoats without any real evidence. Our second story in this week's drone news is on similar lines. Rod Vaughan, a New-Zealand based pilot had implied last year that a drone was responsible for his airplane crash. After an extensive investigation, the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand has debunked Vaughan's theory. So, what was the real reason behind this plane crash? Our next story is about NAB 2019. Prominent drone manufacturers will NOT be participating at NAB 2019. So, who is missing out? And, will another drone manufacturer step in to grab the limelight? Next, we discuss how UPS and Matternet have commenced drone deliveries in North Carolina. With various regulatory hurdles yet to be cleared, this is certainly an encouraging development for the drone industry. Other topics discussed include a drone hitting an NYPD police officer and DJI's Tello Iron Man. Tune in to our weekly drone news for some excellent insights!

Airing date: 03/30/2019 Using Two Factor Authentication - Drones Delivering Blood Samples And Barking At Animals Craig Peterson 0:00 Hello, everybody, we are getting close. My goodness, I can't believe it has been that long. We're almost at show 1000. I think today is 999. I'll have to check. But man, I guess we should do something soon. I just been so busy for all you guys because that means 1000 weeks of shows. Some weeks I put out as many as 12 podcasts. I've put out. I've been on the air 5, 6, 7 times in a week. So it has been a very busy time. So I'm not talking about 1000 podcasts or I'm talking about 1000 radio shows, and literally tens of thousands of podcasts. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, over 10,000 actually, podcasts. I added it up, five years ago, and I had interviewed more than 7,500 C-level executives. Yeah, it's just nuts. Of course. Lately, it's been primarily just me right here on the radio, sharing what I've learned over the years online, or the guy that's been kind of out front, getting all the arrows in my back, putting together internet protocols, implementing them helping businesses get online. Man, I've been doing that since 91, when it first came became legal to do business on the internet. And I quickly ended up getting into security within a couple of years because of what happened to me and my business. And so I had to become an expert in security and now i"m known as America's leading security coach, which is really kind of cool when you get right down to it. But has been a long road. Let me tell you. Craig 2:03 Well, today we are going to go through a couple of really cool articles. This one's a little disconcerting. This is from NBC News. We're going to talk about AI, artificial intelligence. And they talked about how artificial intelligence when fed the right data, and when programmed the right way. They call it AI, right? But you and I know it's really machine learning. But in the United Kingdom, they were able to use it to predict when someone was going to die. And that's part of the National Health Service, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise to anybody, right? Government running the health care, they want to know when you're going to die so they can, you know, get someone else ready to go into your bed. Craig 2:51 Is personal data safer when it's stored on your own computer, your company's computer, your company's network or on a private network? Some interesting stats that came out and published in Forbes this week. Craig 3:04 Apple's finally showed off its plan to conquer TV this week. So we'll talk a little bit about that. I signed up for their News Plus service. And it's not bad, but it's still a little disappointing, frankly. But you know, we'll give it some time. We'll talk about that as well. Craig 3:25 Now UPS This is one of the first real uses of drones for delivery. You might remember that we had the 711 people working on using drones for delivery. And we've had Amazon working on using drones for delivery. Now, UPS has launched a new service using drones to transport blood and other medical samples between various buildings at WakeMed Raleigh's medical campus, North Carolina. And the speed that the drones can deliver these samples could literally be the difference between life and death. A great article from Futurism, which you'll see in today's show notes that we sent out this morning. But it's kind of cool here. They're using an autonomous drone developer called Matternet. And they've got something called an M2 quadcopter, and it can carry a payload up to five pounds, approximately 12 miles. So the medical professionals, there at WakeMed's nearby facilities are loading the drone's containers get a secure container, so that if it crashes, that, you know, people are going to be able to steal what's in it, or get contaminated because they're putting blood samples and other medical specimens into the drone. And then the drone follows a fixed path over to the healthcare system's main hospital there on the campus. And it goes right to the pathology lab who then unload it. Now Business Insider had a good article about it as well. And they're saying that this trip can take a driver up to 30 minutes. Yeah, that's how big this whole campus is. Plus, you know, some of the buildings aren't getting directly attached. And when you're talking about traffic, it can get terrible, and if you've ever been down there in the triangle, it's absolutely terrible in Raleigh, some of the traffic. But these unmanned drones that are being run and managed by UPS can cut the delivery time down to just three minutes and 15 seconds. So that's why they're saying this could really save some lives. So for now, UPS is expecting the drones to make fewer than 10 deliveries a day on the campus. But that could increase in the future, especially as there's services that are considered to be beneficial. And of course, UPS is expecting that to happen. This is very cool. So there you go. Kudos to UPS for doing that. Craig 6:01 I've also got a whole thing here on two-factor authentication we'll get to in a second. But barking dogs, this is kind of cool. You know, for years, we've had shepherds using dogs. At my house, you know, I have chickens, right. I have bees and chickens. And we have a dog, we have a Great Dane. And it's a rescue Dane, we've had four of these Danes over the years. And she is about four years old now. We got her when she was three and a half. But she has been kind of a couch potato. And we were really surprised the other day when her instincts kind of kicked in. And we were out taking care of the chickens. And we had the coop door open, actually was one of my daughters, and the coop door was open. And one of the chickens decided to come running out which we let them do, right. We pasture raised them. So they go out into the pastures and they find all of the horsey stuff and everything and they tear it all up and have fun with it, eat all the bugs that are in it. So, it's okay if they get out. But we don't just want one out, we want to be able to kind of keep an eye on them. This time of year, there's a lot of predators. We've seen some hawks going around, we saw an eagle the other day coming by and sitting there, and you can hear them shrieking very loudly as they're right near us. And of course, that just freaks the chickens out who when they're out wandering around, spend most of the time under the bushes. But, and By the way, we have seen one of these birds of prey take one of our chickens before. We've seen a fox took one of our pet cats as well ran off the property with the cat in its mouth. And a little distressing. But I guess it's good for the foxes and the birds of prey this time of year. So we wanted to keep her in. And our Great Dane, Velma. She didn't like that chicken coming out because my daughter, you know, tried to shoo the chicken back in. And so Velma took care of it, and rounded her up and got her right back there into the run. Or actually, I guess she came out of the coop door. So back into the coop. And that surprised me but not terribly, because I know dogs have this instinct to do hurting. And we have dogs specifically bred for herding, right, you know about sheep dogs and things. So in this case, with a Great Dane that was bred to hunt wild boar, I wasn't sure what she'd do. Craig 8:32 She also, this was a month or two ago, she also helped with one of these birds. Because we had some the chickens were out. And we have an outdoor roosting section for them. So if it gets raining, they can just go sit in there and enjoy being outside a little bit but at least be covered. And we're trying to get the chickens out of this roosting stuff. And so she saw what we were doing. And she, she grabbed one of them by the wing and carried her back. She was being gentle. The chicken wasn't harmed at all. But it's really kind of cool to see. Craig 9:14 Well, farmers have relied on dogs for a long time. And real farmers have multiple animals that all kind of help out each other, you have the cats to keep the field mice down, or heaven forbid the rats down, right, or the squirrels or the chipmunks which we have here as well. And they stay out of the feed and they're not spreading disease amongst your herd. And then you have the chickens too because you have horses or cattle, you have the chickens to break up all of that excrement, right, and then eat all the bugs from it. So you don't get the huge populations of flies or beetles or things. So they keep that population down. And then you have pigs. And they'll eat all of the scraps from the other animals what they don't want to eat, as well as from your table. And then you have goats because they'll eat the stuff that the cows and the horses won't eat, the particularly stuff and the lower nutrition things. So you have all of these animals and it's kind of a roundabout isn't it all the way around. And then you have the dogs out protect all of these animals, you have the sheep as well. So it's really quite an ecosystem if you've ever seen it work and have you ever sat down to think about a farm and how this all works. And course you have kids to help out on the farm, as well. Now we don't have these little farms like that anymore. Really, we don't. We take the manure from the chickens after a couple of years of its sending out and we use it in our own personal garden. And just it's phenomenal. We have some of the best flowers and, and vegetables around. But that's the way it used to be. Craig 10:52 Well now here's somebody getting rid of the dogs as part of that whole, a whole environmental loop on the local farm. And this is an article that came out of New Zealand. There is a company in Christchurch, New Zealand, it's called DJI Ferntech. And they have a special set of drones that are specifically designed for agricultural uses. And we've seen stuff kind of like this before will though, they'll survey the land to look for blight or maybe insects, problems that are occurring in your field. So that's what this company is doing down there New Zealand. And it's kind of cool because they have these kinda like county fairs. They call them agricultural field days, down there in New Zealand. And he's saying for the past two years we've seen farmers embrace drone technology to help with those jobs that are dirty, dangerous, or just plain dull he said. So what one of their new drones and this is on a cattle farm is set up with speakers on it where it can bark like a dog. Craig 12:06 So they've got this 3,500 New Zealand dollar drone and the New Zealand dollars worth about 50 cents give or take. Not sure what it is today. But you know, so it's basically what may be a $2,000 drone at the most. It's called the DJI Mavic Enterprise and you can record sounds and play them over a speaker. So you can put a dogs bark or other noises there and it projects them wherever you want, very loudly across a paddock. And he said this feature helped him move livestock along faster during mustering while stressing the animals a lot less than a dog could because of course the dog is going to kind of nip at their legs, even though it's not going to bite them to get them to move and that's very stressful. And that means some of your cattle aren't going to give the milk that they could, etc, etc. Some cows are going to get very protective of their calves. When you have a dog out there. You might have seen that before, where they lunge at the farm dogs and they get too close. So it's really kind of cool to think about that. A drone instead of a dog. Oh, obviously a drone can't do everything a dog can do. It's not going to be completely autonomous. And someone's going to have to kind of watch it and man it. But over time that it will become more autonomous. But then what are we going to do? We're going to have dogs out of work, right? Craig 13:30 Well, two-factor authentication. Craig 13:34 This is a key part of security. This week, I put together a module on website security and one of the things I brought up is because so many business websites are getting hacked. And if you have a business, man, could you get hacked, so there's a lot to be concerned about. But using two-factor authentication on your website, for you, as an administrator to be able to login can save you know, end of grief. And security and on the internet just in general has gotten more important. And we're seeing it with built in security things now into our web browsers. Google has been protecting their stats are showing 1 billion websites that they are providing blockage to every day. Now it's not websites, but it's actually warnings to people who are using Google. And if you get blacklisted by Google, you will lose 95% of your traffic to your business website on average, which is just huge. So I explained that this week in that module on website security, what to do, how to do it and everything. But that number surprised me. 95% of your traffic and it can take you months to get back. And in most cases, the businesses never are able to get that traffic level back up because Google just doesn't trust them anymore. Craig 15:03 So having two-factor authentication can be a huge win. And that is where you have something you know, along with something you have in order to keep your logins safe. And when we're talking about something, you know, it's your password, right? It's your username and password, which is why I know I gave some tips on what to do there in this module. But basically, don't use admin as the admin user account. But there's some other things too. And then something you have, which is the two-factor authentication. Craig 15:38 You guys know, I recommend 1Password, LastPass as good as well. But I think one passwords definitely the best, especially for businesses. So you should look at tying that into your website login, as well. Craig 15:56 And if you do that, if you have the two-factor authentication using an authentication app, and you can get these for free Google Authenticator is a free app available on iOS or Android. And you can tie it into your website to allow you basically exclusive access to the administrative functions, you are and or other people within your organization that have to do the maintenance on the website. SMS messages are just not secure. We know about and I've talked on this show before about people hijacking your phone number, all kinds of nasty things that can help. Craig 16:39 Apple has two-factor authentication built right into iOS and Mac OS. They do little differently than pretty much everybody else. They're using the Apple ecosystem. So when you try and log in on your Mac, and it doesn't know that you are who you say you are, the Mac will automatically pop something up on your iPhone and say is that you and you get a six-digit Pop-up code. Craig 17:06 And you know, that happens when you log into iCloud and various other things. But there are a bunch of different ways that you can do it. Apple does make it easy. SMS messages really aren't secure. But I do like Google Authenticator and 1Password. They both, 1Password has the Authenticator built right into it. But it's absolutely fantastic. It's $60 per year for 1Password for the family plan. And you can have a shared vault where you keep the password that everybody in the family needs to access like your bank logins or, or other things that you might need, you know, the website for your kid's homework, all of that stuff for 60 bucks a year. It's just crazy. It also has one time passwords built into the app and everything. It's phenomenal nominal, these two-factor authentications. Craig 18:03 Authy's. Another one, you might want to look at. A-U-T-H-Y, if you don't use 1Password. It is a very good two-factor authentication app. It's better than Google Authenticator. It's a little broader. But it is easier to use in, In fact, one of the two-factor authentication is all it does. So it's very straightforward, very easy. You can scan a QR code that the site is giving you and use that then to use Authy or Google Authenticator or 1Password in order to be able to get in. Google Authenticator, I should mention, it's basically been the default solution for a lot of two-factor deployments over the last few years. And man, I, I can't remember the first time I used it. It was a lot of years ago. And I think it was Google, it was prompting me to try it out and use it. Microsoft now has theirs as well, Microsoft Authenticator. They've done a good job on this, I've got to say, Microsoft, with the exception of Windows, well, even with Windows, it's really been pulling up its socks lately. Windows is still terrible. Craig 19:15 But it is much better than it used to be. And if you use Microsoft products heavily, particularly if you're using Office 365, these authenticators are going to work really well for you. And in fact, that's exactly what we use to manage not only our deployment of Office 365 for internal company uses at Mainstream, but we also use it in order to authenticate ourselves to all of our partners, because we manage so many sites, all of their emails, we manage all of their networks, all of their security and everything. So you can bet we use the best of this two-factor authentication stuff. Craig 20:02 Apple, of course, had their big show this week. And one of the things that they released was information on its plan, where it is trying to take over the TV business. And this is from an article I have up on http://CraigPeterson.com from Business Insider. There's still a whole lot of questions that are answered after the event that happened just this week, it unveiled a new subscription service in the US. It covers TV, gaming and news markets. As I mentioned earlier, I signed up for the news stuff called News Plus, it's like 10 bucks a month and you get the first 30 days for free. And I kind of like it. There's some good magazines and stuff in it. I think they've got to clean their interface up a little bit more. And I wish there were more newspapers in that there's very few newspapers, but it'll you know, it'll get better. And Apple really is trying to get more into services because they're making a ton of money from their services sector already. And they're very good. And have you seen the new ads from Apple, the latest ones, where they're really touting security? They're touting the fact that they're not giving all of your information away, that they're not selling it to the highest bidder like Facebook has been doing. You heard me talk about WhatsApp, I have a great article up on my website about the guy who developed WhatsApp, and then sold it to Facebook. And he's now telling people to delete WhatsApp and never use it again. So if you want to find out more about that, and why that's up on my website, as well. But it's all because our friends and Facebook are really messing with people, which is kind of a shame. Craig 21:50 That used to be this article from again Business Insider goes through some of the older events and things that they've done. So they're calling it TV Plus, and a number of people are really kind of underwhelmed by it. But it's going to add more stuff in. What's going to make this very interesting is what the mouse has been doing. Disney. Have you seen what they've been doing they just a couple of weeks ago, got final approval, inked the deal with buying all of Fox's content and production. Fox Studios. No, we're not talking about the news network that's separate. But all of the movies and so think about this, basically, Disney now owns all of the top names out there all the Star Wars brand, and completely owns now, of course, all the standard Disney stuff. And now it's got Marvel under its belt. It even has Spider Man now, which used to be exclusively Sony's property. So the mouse, you know, if you can get them in onto your streaming network, you're in big trouble. And Disney, aka the mouse, is in direct competition with Apple for this stuff. Craig 23:09 So I don't know what that's what's going to happen here. Apple has always made its money off of selling the devices and selling us some services never selling your information. Disney is not the same. And I don't know that the two will be able to come to terms or not, I guess, guess we'll see. Craig 23:30 Your personal data, according to Forbes, is 99.99% safer on a major cloud service than it is on the average companies private network. Isn't that amazing? This is an article in Forbes and they're taking a quote from the site called Quora. And it's really kind of a cool one. Matthew Lodge wrote this. He's a tech executive. And he's talking about, frankly, the fact that most businesses aren't storing the data properly. They're not backing it up properly. They're not securing it properly. Hence my course, right, that I just finished delivering or actually I'm finishing just this week delivering all of the final components as I go through all of that, right. The integrity of the data of the fact that you get bit rot, that companies don't keep track of it. They don't have proper multigenerational backups. They're not pushing the backups off site. They don't have it on on different types of media. They don't have active defenses that don't have security monitoring, right. So duh. Yeah, it's 99.999% safer if you put it up on Dropbox. And so that's really interesting. They, he goes through and he talks about Google as well. And Amazon and what they're doing, they'll have stored stuff. Dropbox is what I recommend for businesses. And in fact, I put together in my last coaching call a whole thing about Dropbox and which version to get because I got like a million of them. But that's I find that to be just fascinating. Craig 25:15 And then our last article here this week is all about artificial intelligence, and the National Health Service over in the United Kingdom. If you've been listening for a while, you know that I and my family have suffered under the Canadian healthcare service for years, and the Supreme Court in Canada finally rolled that you can buy private health insurance, you don't have to get stuck with it. Well, much the same has happened in the UK because the healthcare, public health care is just so bad. It's just terrible. You know, everybody gets it. Craig 25:51 But it's all terrible, right, kind of the bottom line, and I can tell you horror stories from every member of my family that's still in Canada. But in the UK, they've been using some artificial intelligence algorithms. They looked at a half a million people in the UK and then they task this AI with predicting of individuals who were at the risk of dying prematurely. In other words sooner than the average life expectancy from chronic disease and they had three different models that they task the AI with. And this article up on http://CraigPeterson.com that is originally from NBC News, I think you're really gonna like this is they look at different things with each one of the models. They looked at things like well they had the random forest model, which looked mostly a body fat percentage, waist circumference, amount of fruit and vegetables of people ate. They had the deep learning model, top factors there included exposure to job-related hazards, air pollution, alcohol intake, use of certain medications. You had another model called the Cox model that lean heavily on ethnicity and physical activity. So they took those three models, they looked at it, and they found that the best and most accurate predictions that correctly identified 76% of the subjects who died during the study period. Wow, okay. 84% accuracy on predicting Alzheimer's, the onset of autism and six months old babies. So all of this work by the UK National Health Service to figure out you know, basically death panels. Who should we spend money on? And who shouldn't we spend money on? Which is what that's what's happened I Obamacare ended up with death panels. Of course, they don't call them death panels, any of these cases, but you know, the panels that decide whether or not you're worthy to receive medical treatment, I think you can tell which side of the market come down on with that. Craig 28:03 Alright, so this next week, of course, we're going to have some podcasts, probably only one because I am out of town. Very busy. But I'm releasing some stuff to those of you who signed up for my DIY cybersecurity course. And we will be back next Saturday. http://CraigPeterson.com/iTunes, to sign up for the podcast.

Bryan Johnson is founder of Kernel, OS Fund and Braintree. In 2016, he founded Kernel, investing $100M to build advanced neural interfaces to treat disease and dysfunction, illuminate the mechanisms of intelligence, and extend cognition. Kernel is on a mission to dramatically increase our quality of life as healthy lifespans extend. He believes that the future of humanity will be defined by the combination of human and artificial intelligence (HI +AI). $100M commitment to Kernel in an effort to enhance human intelligence and reimagine our future. Unlocking our brain is the most significant and consequential opportunity in history — and it’s time sensitive.Why now? Because the sooner we begin co-evolving human and machine intelligence, the better. The relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence (HI + AI) will necessarily be one of symbiosis.The challenge and potential of exploring this co-evolutionary future is the biggest story of the next century and one in which a closeness in development velocity is a necessity. In order for that to happen, we need to begin working on HI in earnest.In 2014, Bryan invested $100M to start OS Fund which invests in entrepreneurs commercializing breakthrough discoveries in genomics, synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, precision automation, and new materials development. My investment thesis was determined by analyzing what would maximally increase the probability that the human race would survive and thrive yet is underfunded relative to its importance.I concluded it imperative to invest towards a global biological immune system, for us and our planet, enabling us to respond in real-time to risks that threaten our prosperity and build a future more magical than we can currently imagine.Four years later, OS Fund performance is in the top decile among U.S. firms. Of the 28 investments, we have 4 unicorns, 26 up valuations, and 2 acquisitions.In 2007, Bryan founded Braintree (acquired Venmo) which he sold to PayPal in 2013 for $800M.Bryan is an outdoor-adventure enthusiast, pilot, and author of a children's book, Code 7.Bryan's investments include endeavors to cure age-related diseases and radically extend healthy human life to 100+ (Human Longevity), replicate the human visual cortex using artificial intelligence (Vicarious), mine an asteroid (Planetary Resources), reinvent transportation using autonomous vehicles (Matternet), and reimagine food using biology (Hampton Creek), among others.Please do NOT hesitate to reach out to me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or via email mark@vudream.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-metry/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markmetry/Twitter - https://twitter.com/markymetryMedium - https://medium.com/@markymetryFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/Humans.2.0.PodcastMark Metry - https://www.markmetry.com/Humans 2.0 Twitter - https://twitter.com/Humans2Podcast

What do we need to fly a drone safely over people? If you ask today’s guest, he would say having a reliable parachute system. Gene Englegau is the founder of Fruity Chutes, a world leader in the manufacturing of recovery systems for drones and rockets. The company provides parachute recovery systems to many of the top UAS manufacturers including AAI Textron, Quest UAV, Silent Falcon, Aeromao, Zipline, and Matternet and more. Their top priority is to work with manufacturers and provide them with world class recovery systems. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Gene talks about Fruity Chutes, the FAA drone over people workgroup and what it’s like to produce recovery sysems for the drone industry. Joining Gene is his daughter, Janice Egnlegau who handles operations and assists in social media and other areas of the company

Paola Santana tomó el camino tradicional para cambiar el mundo: estudió derecho y quería meterse en política. Sin embargo, cuando estaba becada en Washington DC, descubrió otra manera de ver las cosas: La de la Costa Oeste, la de California, la de Silicon Valley. Si quieres cambiar el mundo, no pierdas tiempo en política, le decían los cantos de sirena desde Singularity University. Ven con nosotros a resolver problemas que afectan a miles de millones de personas. Así que Paola se compró un pasaje de ida a Silicon Valley y pronto estaba lanzando una startup de entrega de mercancías por drones, Matternet, que ya hace volar sus aparatos en Suiza, varios continentes y recibió una inversión de Mercedes Benz de más de 10 millones de dólares. Y se lanzó sin saber nada de ingeniería, marketing digital, software… etc. Hoy, en El Valle de los Tercos, Paola explica la mentalidad mega-híper-requete ambiciosa que adoptan los emprendedores en lugares como Singularity… “Cambio masivo para un billón de personas, resolviendo problemas mundiales que por décadas no se han podido resolver, y utilizando tecnologías exponenciales”. …y cuenta por qué los emprendedores latinoamericanos tienen ventaja frente a los estadounidenses a la hora de querer resolver problemas mundiales. Pero también cuenta por qué decidió dejar de trabajar en Matternet (sigue siendo accionista mayoritaria) tras siete años de sacrificios. Y volvió a su primera pasión: está lanzando Social Glass, una startup que quiere revolucionar cómo funcionan los gobiernos. Nada más y nada menos. Una de las emprendedoras latinas más destacadas de Silicon Valley por fin nos visita… y una vez más, ¡El Valle de los Tercos te trae una entrevista premium!

Matternet is operating an autonomous drone package delivery network in Switzerland.
Manned aviation associations want drone safety rules across the EU, Israeli Air Force changes UAV training system strategy, a Lockheed Martin and the Warsaw University partnership, observations from the Commercial UAV Show Asia, Mercedes and Matternet partner on package delivery, and Huerta delivers InterDrone keynote. News EU aviation groups want all drones to be registered Ten manned aviation associations issued a Joint call to safely integrate Drones / UAS into Europe's Airspace [PDF]. They believe the safety risks associated recreational drones are underestimated and they want harmonized rules across the EU. The groups are calling for: Extensive public awareness campaign Registration of all drones (Ireland and USA cited as examples) Mandatory training and certificate/license Technical Performance Limitations (geofencing) In-depth research into the impact of collisions between drones and manned aircraft Integration of recreational drones into national Model Aircraft Flying Regulations Increase in the effectiveness of enforcement. Signatories are: Airlines for Europe (A4E), Airports Council International Europe (ACI EUROPE), Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), European Cockpit Association (ECA), European Helicopter Association (EHA), European Regions Airline Association (ERAA), International Air Carrier Association (IACA), International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA), and International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers' Associations (IFATCA). IAF will select existing UAV for training academy The Israeli Air Force (IAF) had initially planned to ask Israeli UAV manufacturers to develop a dedicated training system for its unmanned air vehicle academy. Instead, the IAF will now select an Israeli off-the-shelf UAV for training. Lockheed, Warsaw U demonstrate UAV fleet command and control Lockheed Martin and the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) are engaged in an advanced applied research program to optimize fleets of manned and unmanned aircraft. They've conducted a demonstration where they use advanced math to model the constraints and calculate a “best answer.” The model typically offers a 10 to 20 percent improvement over other methods. On the Ground at the Commercial UAV Show Asia 2016 The Commercial UAV Show Asia 2016 was held September 1-2, 2016 in Singapore. Netherlands-based Aerialtronics, who specializes in precision agriculture and inspection, showed a gas-sniffer to detect gas leaks in pipelines. Parrot offshoot SenseFly showed applications for agriculture and property mapping. The eBee SQW fixed-wing drone was there, and based around the Parrot Sequoia multispectral camera. Ukrainian-based manned aircraft maker Skyeton recently started manufacturing airframes and avionics systems for third-parties looking to fly their own sensor packages. The Commercial UAV Show next visits the London ExCel center on October 19-20, 2016. Draganfly Innovations Receives Permission to Test ADS-B Communications Technology Canada's Draganfly has become that country's first UAV manufacturer to receive permission to test an integrated command-and-control system that utilizes automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) avionics with their UAV. Draganfly is partnering with uAvionix. Mercedes partners with U.S. startup to push drone delivery forward Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks, has acquired a minority stake in Matternet in 5-year, €500 million project to develop drones for networked electric delivery vans. The adVANce initiative will encompass vehicle digitization, automation, robotics and mobility solutions technologies. The Vision Van would have a human driver making deliveries, with the drone simultaneously making additional deliveries.

Why did we propel ourselves millions miles from the Earth to the Moon? What did the audacious achievement mean for society? What is it about big ideas and bold visions that compel us to courageously face uncertainty and risk failure? How do daunting challenges provoke us to find novel, game-changing solutions to the world's largest problems and opportunities? These questions consume creative problem-solvers who are attempting to discover, develop, and deploy the next great "moon shots" for the 21st century. In this episode of our World Affairs podcast, you'll hear from Andreas Raptopoulos, Co-founder and CEO of Matternet, and Anthony James, Distinguished Professor of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics at the University of California at Irvine, two men who are using moon shot thinking to innovate, improve, and inspire.
A significant change for Section 333 holders, a carrier-based aerial-refueling system, mapping with UAVs, a drone that romps in the crowd, using drones for health care, extrapolating birdstrike data to drone strikes, an unmanned underwater vehicle, and a fuel cell-powered drone. News UAS: blanket approval granted for 1,120 drones . . . But only going forward In the past, Section 333 exemption applicants had to list the makes and models of all UAS intended for use. If an exemption holder later wanted to fly a different UAS, an amendment was required. Now, however, newly granted exemptions say there is a: “... list of Approved Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) under Section 333. The list, which is updated monthly, is posted at www.regulations.gov under docket number FAA-2007-3330. The petitioner is also authorized to operate any UAS on that list, when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload while this exemption is valid.” The current list dated March 4, 2016 “Approved Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Make/Model under Section 333 - March 4, 2016 (Corrected)” [PDF] has 1,120 UAV makes and models, from the “3D Robotics Aero” to the “Zeta Science Buffalo FX79.” The FAA says, “It includes UAS readily available for purchase as well as those built by petitioners which are not available for purchase from retailers.” US Navy descoping stealth requirement for Stingray tanking UAV The Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) program was originally envisioned to create an unmanned intelligence and strike asset. The Pentagon has now changed the program into the Carrier-Based Aerial-Refueling System (CBARS) to create an unmanned carrier-based aerial tanker called the MQ-25 Stingray. 3D Robotics partners with Sony on a drone that can map the world in 3D 3D Robotics is partnering with Autodesk and Sony on a project that uses a modified Solo drone to scan a location and create a 3D map. The model or map would be uploaded while the drone is in the air, which would then be available to others offsite. The system uses the soon-to-be-released Sony UMC-R10C camera, and will come with a Sony tablet preloaded with Autodesk's FORGE software. 3D Robotics says it is planning to introduce a multispectral and thermal camera, hardware specialized for scanning agricultural sites, chemical plants, and oil rigs. Drone meets blimp for crowd-friendly UAV Aerotain had developed the helium-filled Skye drone to be used safely in crowds of people. The 3-meter diameter sphere has four motors to maneuver it almost like a flying eye. The Skye has a two hour flight time, and the rotor blades are not exposed, making it safe to use in a crowd. Applications include audience engagement at events, advertising, and live event HD video streaming. Using drones to save lives in Malawi 10,000 children died of HIV-related illnesses in Malawi in 2014. There are only eight labs in the country that can test blood, and since many of the children live in remote villages, the samples are often transported by motorbike over dirt tracks. Now, in partnership with Unicef, a drone from California-based Matternet is being used in an experiment to deliver blood samples quickly and autonomously by air. We talked about Matternet in UAV103 Matternet Tests Autonomous Package Delivery, July 2015 when freight carrier Swiss WorldCargo announced that testing had begun using the Matternet ONE drone for small package delivery. New Research Suggests the FAA Exaggerates the Threat that Drones Pose to Airlines Two researchers from George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia wanted to find out if drones really pose a risk to the airspace. So the researchers examined 25 years of data from the FAA's wildlife strike database and published the results of their study in “Do Consumer Drones Endanger the National Airspace? Evidence from Wildlife Strike Data.” Their conclusion: “Although aircraft collide with birds many thousands of times per year,

Package delivery by autonomous drone, drone company management changes, making interfering with firefighters illegal, drone service on demand, North Dakota innovation hub, drone photography contest results, USAF addresses pilot shortage, and accidents increase in Netherlands. News Swiss Postal Service, Air Cargo Carrier Begin Drone Testing Freight carrier Swiss WorldCargo announced on July 7 that testing had begun using the Matternet ONE drone for small package delivery. The quadcopter operates autonomously and can carry one kilogram up to 10 kilometers on a single battery charge. Matternet says the drone uses “secure routes that adapt to weather, terrain and airspace [and] allow Matternet ONE to fly autonomously beyond line of sight, without the need for a human pilot.” The cloud-based routing system … ”guides the Matternet ONE along a secure route at low altitude – between 50-100 meters above ground – adjusting for inclement weather, avoiding tall buildings, mountains and restricted airspace.” Chinese Manufacturer DJI Hires Prominent 'Drone Lawyer' Brendan Schulman, who defended Pirker against the FAA, has left law firm Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel where he was head of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems practice. Now Schulman is Vice President of Policy and Legal Affairs at drone maker DJI. Other movements in the industry include: Amazon hired former Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) counsel Ben Gielow in September as its senior manager of public policy.
