I've worked with enough UAV's to know this thing is way too expensive and power hungry to do most tasks needed. For civilian applications engineering (like me), something like an ARM only board is more than enough for flight controls, transmission, flight path recognition commands, and stability and control. I'm guessing they really want you to use those CUDA cores, but for anything flying, it's a bit overkill on power consumption. Can't complain about the size though, we'd have to see if the tradeoff between weight and power consumption pays off. $300 though..............
