NASA demands for global wind direction map to ensure safety of drones, air taxis #IndiaNEWS #Space
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will approach a Japanese start-up business for help building a global wind map that can improve the flying safety of global drones and air taxis, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.  



In an interview, Junichi Furumoto, CEO of Japanese start-up MetroWeather Co., stated that the company can create compact, low-cost lidar sensors.  



These sensors can be used to detect meteorological hazards like wind shear, allowing unmanned aerial vehicles to operate safely in urban areas. MetroWeather Co. is based in Kyoto, Japan, and collaborates with TruWeather Solutions in the United States, which is also a NASA small company innovation research licensing program participant.  



Self-driving drones and flying automobiles have long been the stuff of science fiction, but theyre slowly making their way into reality. Aerial photography, inspection, and mapping have all benefited from the quadcopters four propellers.  



Amazon, Alphabet, and UPS, the worlds largest express delivery company, are collaborating to create autonomous drone applications in logistics; in addition, many start-ups are investigating the viability of electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles for manned transportation.  



All parties, however, are still concerned about the safety of these aircraft.  



As NASA advances in developing the so-called urban air mobility maturity level-4, the market for drones and air taxis is expected to explode about 2025. L4 urban air travel is a rating system that permits autonomous driving technology to integrate with more advanced technologies at a higher level.  



According to NASAs predictions, the L4 urban air travel system will see hundreds of planes take off simultaneously from airports across the city, with different planes exchanging information to avoid crashes.  



According to industry experts, the market value of drones and air taxi services could reach billions of dollars in the future. Drones and air taxi services, according to some analysts, are ideal for infrastructure inspection and the delivery of urgent high-priced commodities in the medical industry.
