"We need new air service because our community demands it, whether it’s your business or your pleasure," said Jensen, addressing City Club Missoula. "We all want to experience the world, and we want the world to experience Missoula."

Alauda is now building what is essentially a human-capable racing drone.

A consortium is trialing a fleet of electric cargo bikes and trailers for quicker, more efficient and nearly carbon neutral deliveries in Central London.

Musk claimed that the chips’ processing power would help Tesla’s Autopilot automated-driving function save more lives, more quickly, by hastening the day it can drive at least 10 times more safely than a human.

Even intelligent cruise control systems could be used to clear up congestion.
