By 2040. I suspect serious trials in the early 2030s.

Cargo delivery (movement of goods) will likely be the initial application for this technology within the next few years, although work is continuing to validate and certify systems for the movement of people also.  Check out the Ohio Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) framework for a summary of our statewide plan: Advanced Air Mobility Framework | Ohio Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center

More than likely in the next 5 years. Perhaps ten years till maturity.

If you’ve ever flown a drone and had a perfect flight suddenly go haywire due to…. Who knows, loss of GPS, loss of magnetic orientation, loss of Gyroscope…. It will be a while before I’d trust my life in something dependent on the same technology. I’ve had too many “fly aways”. Now granted the technology in a Tesla is more reliable but you don’t fall from 500+ feet in a Tesla…. I’ll give it a few years after it goes commercial

It will not be long before personal drones become a a reality. One only has to look to a company like Jestson One https://www.jetsonaero.com/
There are many unknowns still, regulation, mass expectance and economics. The tech is ready. Mass production will be needed to bring down the cost. 
I believe we will see drones for human transport within the next 5 years. If the costs can be scaled we may see mass production within 10 years.

Why do you think there are so few mature AI-driven autonomous pentesting solutions on the market, and why does this topic seem to generate more hype than in-depth technical discussion?

As organizations deploy LLMs and other AI systems, how do you recommend security teams address risks such as data leakage, prompt injection and adversarial manipulation? What frameworks or practices should be prioritized to make AI security programs resilient from day one?

We’re currently exploring options to implement an iPXE-based WinPE deployment solution in Microsoft Azure. Our goal is to streamline OS provisioning for virtual machines using cloud-hosted boot scripts and WinPE images, ideally over HTTP/S for performance and flexibility. Key requirements: Must support iPXE booting in Azure (via ISO, custom VM image, or chainloading). Ability to host and serve WinPE images securely (e.g., via Azure Blob Storage or web server). Cyber Essentials Plus compliance is essential, as we operate in a regulated environment. Preferably a UK-based provider with experience in secure cloud deployments and endpoint provisioning. We’ve looked into solutions like 2Pint Software’s iPXE Anywhere, but we’re open to other vendors or managed service providers who can assist with setup, integration, and ongoing support. Has anyone implemented a similar solution or worked with a provider who meets this criteria? Any recommendations or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
