I seriously doubt any drone proponent will be dismissive of safety concerns. If there are people who don't care about the safety concerns drones bring, this is just the other side of the same coin with people so resistant to the ideas of autonomous vehicles. Both are people not forward looking in their own way.
When Amazon says, "hey we want to use drones," reactions shouldn't be, "hell no there's no way you can make that safe," and instead, "great idea, let's make sure there is a discussion at large to reach a consensus on the safety standards required to make that happen."
- ksml 11y agoBig companies very consistently skimp on things that are not directly related to the success of some undertaking. Sure, safety standards might be put into place, but that does not convince me in the slightest that Amazon is going to spend a lot of money making sure the drones are secure and bug free and can't be hacked easily, so on and so forth... Certainly not to the degree that commercial airplanes are vetted, and even those systems aren't invulnerable.
