Drone air traffic control over wireless networks for package pickup and delivery in an order defined by roads, highways, or streets

This describes a system for managing drone package delivery. An air traffic control system communicates wirelessly with drones, directing them to pick up and deliver packages. A key feature is that the system instructs drones to fly along roads, highways, or streets for a set distance and altitude, either by using onboard cameras to identify and follow the road or by following a precise flight plan with coordinates.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in AI and computer vision. Real-time road identification and following by drones, as described in the claims, is now more feasible and accurate.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, drone navigation, computer vision
