I have spent a lot of time talking about Drones and the impact they do and will have on our world over the past few months. A lot more, I realized today than I had realized in the past.
I am sharing a link to my podcast for today, a vocal droning about drones as it were. I thought I would also share some other links to drone articles as well. There are some topics I have hit recently that I think are of broader community interest.
Drone Governance
Metal detection Drones
Selfie Drones
It is something that amuses me overall. The reality of Drones is they are here now. The new reality is that what is coming is way more than what is here. Today is wandering around a park. You may see one or two selfie drones (if it is a huge park). That market is going to explode! I suspect eventually you will see drones as swarms following people around.
The future is an interesting problem in Drone space.
Since this was originally posted, there has been a huge number of changes.
- In the US, the FAA asks all drone owners to register.
- Many countries have banned the personal ownership of Drones.
- The growth of drones continues!
Drones are very important my country to protect our citizens against missiles from our enemies.
from a military perspective, they are used heavily. They also have many Commerical uses that are valuable.
There are laws in New Zealand for the use of drones and very right as well. However, they could be very effective for lifesaving in any beach,
They really are a value proposition for life-saving, for pipeline maintenance, for crime prevention the bring a lot to the table.
All too right Doc, as long as that technology does not fall into the wrong hands.
sadly that has already happened. In the US, illegal drugs are carried over the border via drones.
No surprises there..sadly
it is kind of sad. The cool thing is they recused a hiker in the Sierra Madre moutains using drones!
That is good news….glad they did.
They are coming for us, eventually they will all arrive.
i wonder how much longer before The Dude, orders catnip delivered by Drone! 🙂
There are more and more drones in our country. They are used for various purposes.
they are used for so many cool things. My favorite is when they are used to find lost hikers!
Our police use it occasionally.
More and more police departments are using Machine learning patterns to manage drone flights. With Infrared cameras, they can see a human being at night. With ML (Machine learning) patterns they can fly the drones without having to see the ground the drone will have a 3d map to use when flying.
You have to have a special license for drone handling with us … every drone is also registered in some kind of register
yes the same is true in the US now.
