How long will it be before the police come a'knocking at your door to arrest you and take you into custody the day before you were intending to commit a crime?
Some good ideas in TFA for optimizing the process. While all or some of the ideas may not be appropriate in your environment, the article is worth the read to see how others do stuff.
Did the researchers "fly" 50 autonomous planes, or did they just stand by while the planes flew themselves? If the researchers did "fly" the planes, why are the planes called autonomous?
