Drones
are filling the sky at an impressive rate, but this has become a
safety and privacy concern for many. Already, an incident occurred
where a drone collided with a jet airliner near London's Heathrow
Airport. Drones have also entered secure areas, such as the drone
that crashed near the White House last year. Drone-control has been
an issue tackled from a variety of angles, including the use of net
guns, anti-drone drones, and even trained eagles that will fly in and
destroy drones in the air. A company name SkySafe has developed a
system to take unwanted drones out of the sky, remotely shutting them
down with options to either safely land them or to simply bring them
crashing down to the earth. This technology is certain to find its
way into a number of places, such as sporting events and
high-security areas. However, what is to prevent similar technology
from being used against self-driving cars in the future? New
technologies will of course be developed to compete against that, and
rival technologies will rise up in response. At least one good thing
can come of all this—there will be more tech job openings in the
future!
