Comment Permissions problem? (Score 1) 98

"Running under the guise of trusted apps already installed, the malicious apps can then request permissions to carry out sensitive tasks, such as [...] phishing login credentials. Targets who click yes to the request are then compromised. "

The median US business flight is 816 miles, and the average (couldn't find median) number of passengers is about 80.

If these numbers are representative, a massive amount of current air travel could be taken over by electric aircraft with only moderate technological improvement in battery technology.

Fuel cost is 20-30% of your ticket price, and wage costs are even higher.

In conclusion: Short/medium-range autonomous electric aircraft are quite likely to be viable and could potentially massively reduce the cost of air travel.

"Waah! I don't pollute any more than 10 Indian people, so it's *totally unfair* that *we* should have to cut back!"
