In the early days of aviation there were those that opposed it, of course there were foolish people doing foolish things, then there were horseless carriages, motorcycles, electricity, computers, cell phones, Hoverboards and numerous others I have missed. Have there been mishaps? Obviously, will new technology march forward? Definitely! In drones I see the future of transportation and aviation not just little toys hovering in the sky.Came across this video today on YT.
It's only a matter of time that a serious drone collision with an airplane or helicopter is going to happen.
Does anyone want to see a sUAV hit a home, person or anything else, I would say no. Will forcing everyone to get a pilots license decrease that definitely not. Aircraft crash into neighborhoods causing loss of life and property damage frequently, shall all civil aviation be routed away from people and infrastructure? Pretty sure that's not going to happen, drone vs. home or aircraft will there be some damage? More likely to the drone. This debate is kind of like the gun debate many are sold few are used stupidly where is the attention going? To the few isolated overblown incidents such as the drone falling on the house but not causing any damage, or this video which clearly shows some silly me individual but fortunately no damage. This change is coming whether you choose to accept it or not, there will be numbskulls and there will be chicken little screaming "the sky is falling " but the tech is here to stay and more than likely be our next mode of transportation.
