LlamaFarmer, to your point, I was googling the abbreviations in your post, (DODAR, etc) and in the list of hits was this AAIB Report on two UAS Events, (same aircraft).

Like QF32 and numerous others I can recollect, including some from personal experience, I think it is a useful if not familiar example of why autonomous flight is a very long way from a successful, demonstrably lower risk, commercial implementation, ("lower-risk" being the erstwhile* raison d'être behind the notion of autonomous, routine, commercial flight).


*erstwhile, because I don't believe the primary reason for autonomous flight is risk-reduction
