Surprised it's taken this long honestly. I assumed over a decade ago that gangs would use drones for drive-by's or at least tagging places impossible to clean without also using a drone to spray paint over it. I figured by now gangs and city governments would be in a drone arms race given how cheap and easy to pilot they are. When made illegal I would also assume they would use the proper assemble-yourself hobby drones that have no flight restrictions so that only us plebs can't use them.
- sterlind 5y agoThere was that one presidential assassination attempt by drone, but it didn't succeed (and wasn't in the US.) It used a bomb, I guess since it's easier (don't have to add actuators for the trigger, or targeting or anything.) Gun drones seem a lot more effective, though. They could hang out at a distance inconspicuously, up high, and fire on the target. Takes a lot more skill though. DIY electronics and 3D printing will become as taboo as DIY chemistry, I fear.
