Out the program, though Amazon recentlyannounced that it will launch delivery

Out the program, though Amazon recentlyannounced that it will launch delivery drones within months. We're building fully electric drones that can fly up to 15 miles anddeliver packages under five pounds to customers in under 30 minutes. Well, the biggest thing I believe that's pacing the development of thedrone industry is regulation. FAA regulations are still pretty strict on these autonomous flyingvehicles, and that has created a challenge for these drones. Competition for airspace is becoming more and more heated as dronesof all sizes take to the air. There have been some restrictions by the FAA that have restricted theuse of drones for delivery to consumer homes, and, you know, that'ssomething that needs to be overcome and they're continuing to workon. Autonomy brings a whole new set of public concerns, just as we've seenwith self-driving cars, because the public has grown to appreciatethe safety and the assurance of being able to fly from one place toanother.  The regulators are hesitant to permit new technologies fromentering the airspace until they are really proven satisfactorily. Another big concern when it comes to automation is jobs. As you hear some of the challenges related to drones, that's one ofthe things I've heard come up. There would be this whole workforce needed to be able to manage thisdrone network. But this technology could help alleviate some of the worker shortagesthat the shipping industry is facing. I think what you're seeing today, the airline sector, for example, hasa massive pilot shortage and it's forecasted to only get worse thanthe number of people that are going to be traveling by air isexpected to double over the next 15 years. But customers, shippers and regulators all see the promise in theseautonomous flying vehicles for emergency deliveries, for incrediblyhigh speed home deliveries and even for large shipments of goods. So I think that there's great opportunity here with unmanned cargoaircraft to start proving out some of the technologies in alower-risk environment without people on board, and these sametechnologies can eventually be introduced to the aircraft that wewill use for flying around cities to and from work. And I'm really excited about skipping the terrestrial traffic aswell.
