In a world fraught with obstacles, who will prevail in a race against time: human or machine? See what happens when we race a drone controlled by artificial intelligence against another guided by a professional human pilot: http://go.nasa.gov/2hSENey | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Engineers at EPFL have developed a predictive control model that allows swarms of drones to fly in cluttered environments quickly and safely. It works by enabling individual drones to predict their own behavior and that of their neighbors in the swarm. There is strength in numbers. That’s true not only for humans, but for drones too. By flying in a swarm, they can cover larger areas and collect a wider range of data, since each drone can be equipped with different sensors. Image/video credits: E
