EP13 - Focus on Flight Testing Autonomous Vehicles and AI (Part 1)

Flight Test Safety Channel

I was watching 2001: A Space Odyssey the other night. Remember when HAL would not open the pod bay doors? Seems like somebody forgot to fully test that system and it got me curious about how exactly you would go about testing something like that. This month we talk to a panel of testers from Edwards AFB who are testing autonomy, autonomous vehicles and AI today.
