Drone technology — also known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned aircraft system (UAS) technology — is expanding rapidly across commercial, industrial, and defense sectors. As these systems become more complex, they increasingly rely on sophisticated software for aerial embedded systems.

2025 will be remembered as the year AI wrote poetry, passed medical exams, and stumbled with spectacular blunders. For every impressive breakthrough, there was an equally impressive facepalm.

Replaying traffic is a core tool in your toolbox when you need to reproduce a tricky bug or validate how your app behaves. Traffic replay is especially valuable for testing complex software applications that rely on APIs and microservices, where integration and functionality must be thoroughly validated.

A few years ago I was on call during the Super Bowl. At the time I was working for an observability vendor and one of our customers had an outage caused by a surge in user traffic. But our monitoring system didn’t have enough data to know what went wrong and I sat on a call for 2 hours painfully listening to them spinning up more servers and trying to catch up with the user load.

When the automotive industry introduced the concept of Levels of Autonomy, it gave us a shared language for something profound. It wasn’t just about self-driving cars, it was about how humans and intelligent systems work together as execution gradually shifts from one participant to the other. Level 0 is full human control. Level 5 means the car can handle any situation on its own. And between those two extremes are a series of stages that capture both technological progress and human adaptation.

Our latest research paints a concerning, albeit solvable, situation of blame and misalignment.
