How will drones change our airspace? Is it safe? Will gridlock soon be a thing of the past? Non-ground-based transportation technologies are gaining momentum, and NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley is in the forefront of air traffic research. Join this panel to hear about NASA’s long-standing contributions to air traffic management and how the agency is building a platform that will allow for future urban air mobility, ranging from the delivery of packages by drone to the venerable flying car. Because really, who DOESN’T wish they could jump into a flying car to cruise over the 101 or the Bay Bridge?!
