Yes! The world needs this kind of work. I would prefer my flight control computers to be free of bugs, provably.<p>DARPA just concluded a program to do exactly this, and I wonder if Veridrone was funded as part of their efforts:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.darpa.mil&#x2F;program&#x2F;high-assurance-cyber-military-systems" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.darpa.mil&#x2F;program&#x2F;high-assurance-cyber-military-s...</a><p>A lot of the work that went into formally verifying various aspects of drone and car software for HACMS was open sourced in DARPA&#x27;s Open Catalog, found here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;opencatalog.darpa.mil&#x2F;HACMS.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;opencatalog.darpa.mil&#x2F;HACMS.html</a>

Another step towards my dream of an Uber-for-&#x27;Skyhook&#x27;-style-personal-drone-transport!<p>(&#x27;Skyhook&#x27; was a cold-war era technology for lifting people up to planes flying overhead, kind of a reverse-parachute, involving baloons &amp; long tether-lines:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery...</a> )
