✈Boeing buys Aurora, an autonomous drone company.
Boeing has announced that it’s buying Aurora Flight Sciences, a company that is developing autonomous flying vehicles.
Aurora’s strengths are in creating aircraft that take off and land vertically, and is looking to eliminate pilots from the equation entirely.
The company has been working on such technology for the better part of three decades, and also worked with Uber on its own flying taxi project.
