I’ve written a few times about the use of drones in the provision of security. For instance, a startup called Aptonomy provides a drone that is capable of delivering audible warnings to people who are acting inappropriately, such as attempting to break into a warehouse.
Or you’ve got the system, known as Fleetlights, which provides a drone that can be requested on-demand by the user to provide illumination in areas lacking in street lighting. The device is called by the user via their smartphone, with the request then sent on to a Fleetlights operator complete with the location of the customer. The operator then dispatches a fleet of drones to fly just ahead of the customer to illuminate the way ahead and accompany them on the remainder of their journey.
