They could already do this with high-rez satellite photos if they wanted. The drone just makes it unusually irritating.

- gerikson 3y agoYep, this is a thing: https://www.verisk.com/insurance/products/personal-aerial-imagery/ https://www.verisk.com/insurance/products/personal-aerial-im... I seem to remember reading on Twitter that 80% of the population of the US is photographed every 3 months or so by services like this.

- bagels 3y agoVerisk looks to be using "aerial" photography, not satellite.
- bell-cot 3y agoOr fly a Cessna - far noisier than any drone - over the area with a fancy camera, or ... Would it make all that much difference if they'd sent out an artist on horseback, to depict his property with quill and ink on parchment?
- function_seven 3y agoHow loud is this quill when it scratches against the parchment? Does the horse whinny?
- RobRivera 3y agothe horse is a coconut afixed to a bicycle
- wolpoli 3y agoI get that the horse allows the artist to see over the top of the fence into the yard without a ladder, but could we rely on the horse staying still during the drawing process?
- bell-cot 3y agoFigure that they'd use horses with cooler temperaments. And a decent rider can control a horse pretty well with his legs. So - still enough.
- happytiger 3y agoJust wait until it’s a fully automated system. This is still someone doing investigations at the moment. In the not too distant future, surveillance will determine rates and not just policy eligibility.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoWhat I want to know is how a man with a drone is more cost-effective. In 2023, high resolution satellite imagery is basically a SaaS product.
- ahahahahah 3y agoThey didn't use a drone.
