Drones: If It Can Be Done

The other day we came upon a teen demonstrating a working drone in the busy concourse of our local mall.  It was obvious that if he made a joystick maneuvering error one of the three open propellers would cut somebody’s face off.  Nobody seemed to care.

Huge corporations are making arrangements to deliver your pizza using drones.  Governments, the military and even Google Maps are heading into widespread drone usage.

Nobody seems to realize that drones cannot share airspace with humans and cars and choppers and airplanes without disastrous results.  If we cannot shut down the teen at the mall, drones will soon be sucked into airliner engines all over the world.  Catastrophic!

If it can be done, it WILL be done.
