Drone technology is coming. What are the strengths and weaknesses of using drones for delivering public services?
Drones present opportunities as well as threats to public safety and welfare.
Dear Joseph Tham,
Each new technological solution generating new categories of operational risk related to the possibility of faults, accidents resulting from improper use of certain technical devices and the possibility of their defects, and the emergence of unpredictable and probable random events in the environment, in which specific devices are used.
Drones are among the new means of air transport. There are various risks associated with air transport. Some courier companies are starting to use drones to transport parcels. Drones are increasingly used by commercial entities and by public sector institutions. Drones are used to record movies, take pictures from a bird's eye view and to monitor various events and processes taking place on Earth.
The high-risk accidents involving drone are reported by the occurrence of accidents involving drones. There have been cases of collision of drones with aircraft, and therefore it is forbidden to use drones over airports and in certain air zones. In connection with the above, various risks are associated with the use of drones, which in extreme cases may also lead to air disasters.
