Study: Half of Drone Flights To Be Autonomous by 2022
The study says fundamental transformations will disrupt the status quo and create new opportunities for industry growth.

More than half of global commercial UAS flights will be conducted autonomously by 2022, according to a new study released today by consulting firm Frost & Sullivan. These autonomous flights will function “much like warehouse robots operate today,” the study notes. “This innovation will create new industry opportunities as drones will be used as a tool to make operations more efficient while drone maintenance and security will become prominent areas for revenue stream development.”
