ThirdPipe of a Military Kind
Just watch it –
Granted it is a pitch by Lockheed for a new UAV multi role vehicle. But if you step back, the very telecommunications technology that makes this possible is ThirdPipe in nature. High bandwidth, wireless, satellite supported, GPS enabled with the intelligence forward placed in the end node (the plane…). I am not advocating a UAV airstrike to bust up the congestion on I35. But what I might be suggesting is that the ability of your car to suggest alternate routes on the Tom-Tom enabled GPS viewer would be a wonderful civilian role for such technologies.
But folks its not going to happen unless we get serious about a wireless infrastructure in this country. Nice idea for the guns, now how about something for butter?
