In all seriousness though, you could buy one of these emergency air tanks that would let you breath for 6-12 minutes https://a.co/d/fDZXXhv

I think they call this snorkeling

Planet has some services that use machine learning to count ships and detect roads. I believe you might be able to run your own models on the data, but detecting teslas vs other cars would be difficult at current resolutions. Unfortunately not reasonably priced for individuals

Additionally, the public transportation infrastructure designed to deal with the topography of the city has become nothing more than a tourist attraction, rather than a way to traverse the city.

I'm sure there's... an app for that. ;-)

As you indicate, it's just an example. These libraries aren't for building image sliders, they're for building complex applications that you can't easily provide examples for.

I appreciate everyone's comments, thanks!!

Solid. This is would also allow me to spend time teaching programming to my son as he gets older.

A very good idea. I mean, that's probably the best way to get a foot in the door.

Yeah, the level of math required is a concern career-wise.

Thanks for the advice. Do you have any suggestions on a drone platform that would be good for a beginner?

I notice that the first thing that pops up on google for 'programming drones' is http://www.nodecopter.com/ which seems right up my alley, but I think you have a good point about learning C/C++

Cool, thanks!

I'd like to play with it at first but with the goal of someday making it a career.

Thanks. Yeah I bought an Arduino and some parts, but never got past the first bug robot build.

I'm also wondering where people interested in this stuff gather, and where some of the better tutorials / blogs / books are.

You're right though, I need to just start putting parts together.
