How Drone Technology Is Changing The World As We Know It

Using drones in this way makes it possible to attack strategic targets without risking the life of an aviator. Beyond warfare, however, there are other ways this technology can be used in aid of a greater good.

When the craft is piloted remotely, information has to be processed from the information provided by sensors, and that is a slower process than piloting by feel. However, more intelligent, autonomously piloted drones are being developed that may help overcome these challenges – could drones deliver far greater accuracy and efficiency than a human pilot could? Comment below and let us know what you think.

In fact, it is possible to film an entire movie using only drones. Nobody has done a full-length feature film yet, but that doesn't mean it can't be done!

A good drone for film making has these features:

Automatic collision and terrain avoidance

• "Return to Base" system
• Ability to track and follow a target
• Sufficient strength and energy to lift and carry the camera
• Strong construction to help prevent damage

When it comes to choosing a drone camera, the things to look for are:

• Ability to remotely control the camera independently of the drone
• Flat lens ("fisheye" is not a good look for most cinematic masterpieces)
• Depth of Field

That last item is really the most important one because it's what makes a movie look like a movie and not footage from a security camera.

Another great thing is that using a drone costs much less than using a manned aircraft, yet it can let you capture amazing shots in all kinds of ways, including some that could never be achieved using conventional techniques.

Now think about how much you hate commuting during rush hour. It's a terrible experience because moving along the surface of the earth is slow and limiting. If you could fly through the air like a bird, your experience would be very different.

Everything we know about private transport is about to change. Drones that safely transport you from A to B will soon be part of everyday reality. The technology already exists, but it's still going to be a while before it's available for everyone to make use of.

This is the technology people have been fantasising about in science fiction for more than 150 years (remember the Jetsons?), and finally it is something we can see. Within the next 10-20 years, it can be expected that the metropolitan sky will be filled with these smart autonomous vehicles, and that crowded rush hour commute will be nothing more than a memory.

Before that can happen, new legislation will need to be made to classify different types of drone systems into categories so that there is not a blanket law covering all drones, no matter how diverse they may be.

That future is, however, inevitable. Drones are here to stay, and hopefully, people will operate them responsibly enough that it does not delay the passing of that necessary legislation that will bring the future to us sooner.
