Watch: In search of lost people, drones recognize and follow forest trails ZDNet

AI might be a hot topic but you'll still need to justify those projects. When I was eight, I got lost in the woods on a camping trip with my mom. Rangers eventually found me and hiked me out, which is actually kind of miraculous. I was a couple miles from where they assumed I'd be, trudging haplessly through a remote backwoods area on unmarked terrain. Every year hundreds of thousand people get lost in the wild worldwide.
