It’s easy to think that electric aviation is something that’s happening tomorrow. Air taxis, eVTOL craft, rescue pods, aerial ambulances, and such are coming in the near future. Full-on cargo and passenger airliners might happen later when battery technology improves, but, as I’ve explained before, electric aviation is already here! … [continued]

Drones are changing the ground under our feet. Their game-changing use in warfare has been highlighted by Russia’s murderous invasion of Ukraine, but they are also accelerating the clean energy landscape in new and impactful ways. For some insights into both areas, CleanTechnica recently spoke with Cameron Chell, CEO and President of the US company […]

In the past, I’ve written a number of articles explaining how drones have allowed clean electric aviation to develop in ways that just aren’t possible with manned aircraft. Since batteries can’t currently store enough energy to move large planes except for short flights, electric aircraft carrying lots of passengers or cargo over long distances is […]

New technologies always bring out skepticism in people, and among the particularly ignorant, it brings out paranoia, hatred, and violence. Few know this better than Tesla owners, especially those who’ve experienced vandalism (often by people stupid enough to not know they’re on camera). I don’t understand why people think it’s ok to vandalize others property. […]

If you’re a Tesla fan, or fan-adjacent like me, you’ve probably seen the cool first-person view drone footage from Giga Berlin from earlier this year. The drone footage does lots of cool maneuvering in tight, tight spaces and gives reality a surreal look that no human or human-held camera can possibly get. Want to make […]

When it comes to electric aviation, one of the key benefits is that small drones are available today and they don’t contribute to the problem of climate change. But, can they help us deal with the climate change gas and kerosene-powered aircraft helped create? It turns out that the answer to this is a definite, […]

It makes sense to perform the most hazardous activities in simulations when you’re testing advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicle prototypes, or simply automobiles in general. An early autonomous system may be extremely unpredictable, and Tesla warns that they might “make the wrong decision at the worst possible time.” So, before even installing a […]
