Also a group at Sydney University I briefly
communicated with 3 or 4 years
ago.................so we put these algorithms in
to a microcomputer, hook it to an autopilot and enjoy the ride?
This is all doable right now. It will be
interesting to see if/when the AI beats a human pilot.

If one bloke can do this in a relatively short
while I'm not betting against the AI (Artificial
Intelligence) in a glider. Recognising clouds
might be a problem but machine vision is getting
pretty good and the machine will be able to
easily see the cloud development and recognise the trend better than a human.

I don't have the URL to hand but a private group
in northern California quite a few years ago had
large model gliders flying autonomously cross
country doing out and returns and triangles.
IIRC they were doing 50 km or so last time I looked.
I know NASA Dryden (now Armstrong) were looking
at this more than 10 years ago too as they bought a B50 for the project.
