How can we maximize the intended benefits of technology
while limiting the unintended consequences of technology?
How to deal with this challenge?
The solution is to develop universal standards to guards
against the misuse and unintended consequences of drone
technology.
Public needs to be educated about the negative side of
emerging technologies. Nations and international
organizations ought to work together to formulated policies,
regulations and laws.
The technology companies should be required to adequately
test their products for safety and potential misuse and
unintended consequences, before rushing their products to
the market.
UAV technology: Key Questions for Standards and Policy Development
As the technical experts and policy makers strive to develop standards at national and international levels, they ought to ponder the following questions:
•How to legally address, at national and international levels, damage to public property and fatalities caused by failures of drone technology?
•How to deal with the unintended consequences of drone use?
•How to effectively manage recreational and commercial drone traffic?
UAV technology: Key Questions for Standards and Policy Development
As the technical experts and policy makers strive to develop standards at national and international levels, they ought to ponder the following questions:
•How to effectively track recreational and commercial drones?
•How to develop GPS-based flying corridors for recreational and commercial drones?
•How to effectively assign electronic addresses for identifying recreational and commercial drones?
•How to avoid violating public privacy and safeguard civil liberties?
UAV technology: Key Questions for Standards and Policy Development
Answers to these questions will lead to the development and adoptionof national and international standards. Once such standards aredeveloped, drone technology can safely be used for the benefit ofsociety both for recreation and for cross-border commercial deliveriesin the United States, Canada, Europe, and other international regions.Reference:Drone Technology: Applications and Challenges for Standards DevelopmentDr. Ahmed S.
