I get a tech newsletter and thought that this will probably be a disruptive advance and of interest to aviators.

And it turns out that it was developed in my back yard of University of Calif, Santa Barbara

Ha!  I don't think we'd want to share the skies with that!

If you read the page, it's not really "collision proof".  It actually just doesn't mind colliding with things indoors because it learns the room from them.  I suppose if they applied this to large drones they could send telemetry back from collisions and eventually (in millions of years) be able to learn where most common airways are.
