I want these things as highly regulated as possible. I found it extremely uncomfortable to have drones flying about over my kids head in the park. What do I know about the competence of the pilots? Or the onboard AI? Nothing. They're basically high speed aerial blades from my POV.
- Balero 8y agoI don't like drones flying over public places from a privacy perspective. I've been hit by an admittedly, fairly small drone. I't didn't hurt much at all, and the rotors didn't break the skin. I don't think they're like aerial blades, unless someone attaches some to one.
- scandox 8y agoGood to know.
- alistairSH 8y agoIt really depends on the drone. Those small toy drones? Yeah, might cut you a bit if the rotor cages aren't installed. Something heavier like a DJI Phantom? Even if the blades don't cut you, those carry enough mass/speed to seriously injure.
- Balero 8y agoI mean yeah of course. I was talking about small hobby drones. Taking it to the absurd, if you get hit by one of those Reapers[0] you might get really seriously injured!
