[C. Michael Holloway]

Greetings,

Some folks on this list may be interested in reading a recent article in 
Aviation Week & Space Technology titled 'Certifiable Trust' Required to 
Take Autonomous Systems Past 'Unmanned.':

I am curious what people think about the various statements made in the 
article.

The US National Research Council recently completed a report on the same 
general subject.  The report, titled "Autonomy Research for Civil 
Aviation: Toward a New Era of Flight" is available here: 
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=18815

Downloading a free PDF copy requires registering or at least providing 
an e-mail address.

If anyone has the time to read the report, I am curious what you think 
about it.
