Luckily drones still have significant limitations on achievable flight time. Some of which are dictated by the laws of physics. So for the foreseeable future there won’t be any bird sized drones chasing you down. Military drones on the other hand are much larger and expensive.

- andy_ppp 8y agoDepends if the other drones decide to stop you from speaking out.
- threatofrain 8y agoCar crashes have important consequences anywhere in the world as well; I think people will simply accept the low incidence of drone-related accident as part of their environmental ambience.
- YetAnotherNick 8y agoThey are completely different thing. I will be much more furious if some relative die due to drones than accident.
- pasabagi 8y agoWhy? I have had a friend die from a car accident. It doesn't exactly make you pro-driver (he was drunk). If people can get used to cars, they can get used to anything. I mean, even as street furniture, they're hideously annoying. They monopolize roads, kill pedestrians, make noise, poison us, and do the same to our children, then you pay taxes to subsidize their manufacture. Drones sound far less obnoxious.
- Existenceblinks 8y agoInstall (mini)Drone charging station on every mobile cell site, plus Tesla or other electric charging stations(e.g. poles). Add auto landing .. to charging station with Magsafe-like connector for example. Add on-the-fly battery swapping feature. Develop support drone that can carry batteries, fly and attach itself to low battery drone, swap, detach and go back to station. etc.
