At CES 2023, industry experts weighed in on why drones should be your next delivery vehicle. CES2023
Drone deliveries could help reduce unnecessary deaths on roads and improve the environment, industry experts explained Friday. in Las Vegas, Federal Aviation Administration representative Abigail Smith explained that her organization looks to safety as its "north star." When it comes to delivering goods with unmanned flying machines, the technology has the potential to improve safety over current solutions.
It's an example of how the nascent technology has the potential to improve lives by removing the unsafe elements from existing structures. While online stores like Amazon and eBay have popularized home shopping, delivery drivers remain an integral part of the process.like Starship aim to remove the human from the equation, using machines to complete the process.
Smith went on to give "a really dramatic use case" where drones could save lives: crop dusting. The process of spraying crops with a protection product, Smith claimed, claims around 13 lives in the United States alone. Using drones would mean that human aircraft operators are no longer exposed to the dangers in the process.
"It's dangerous, it's dirty...I wouldn't say that it's a dull job, but it is repetitive," Smith said. "By using drones in this space, we're eliminating all death."
