Decentralized Autonomous Traffic Management

Air taxis and autonomous aircraft are expected to fly in the skies above major cities in the coming years; far more aircraft than today’s air traffic controllers can handle directly. Researchers in DINaMo demonstrate how autonomous aircraft can safely coordinate with each other on their own, using only what they can see of nearby traffic, even in complex airspace with dozens of aircraft flying through it at once.
