How autonomous drones could help make cities even ‘smarter’


The smart cities of tomorrow will no doubt benefit from the help of autonomous drones. — AFP Relaxnews

The rise of 5G and modern communication systems should, in the long run, favor the development of autonomous drones, deployed at the service of the community. In the context of the smart cities of the future, these drones could be used to monitor, analyse and manage numerous parameters. However, advances in technology and legislation will be needed to make this happen.

Often envisioned as a future means of delivery, drones are currently finding all kinds of applications, often driven by reasons of safety or security, but they are always managed from the ground by humans. In the near future, many fully autonomous models could be assigned new missions, thanks in particular to the 5G network.
