You can see drones slowly getting more involved into activities, hobbies and military uses. But some people believe that though, not all drones are the same, they are still can be harmful. “not every drone carries a missile… all drones carry the burden that comes with being an instrument of tremendous power.” People think there is a flaw to these machines, as Janet Burns article shows, these robots can be easily hacked into and used to invade peoples privacy and can be knocked out of the sky and stolen. Drones cover a lot of grown from the angle they are in, and can see anywhere and everywhere. It didn’t take long for the students to hack into one of the “guinea pig” drones and completely confuse it. This can create a threat to “hobby-type” drones that are used for photography and video, to soon to come commercial delivery drones, that can be forcibly tell the drone to land or deliver the item to a different location.
If these projects show how easy it is to infiltrate into these devices, then what can we do with the military drones? How useful are they? How can they be improved? Yes they are used for our safety, and also research, but drone influence with surveillance can not be that impactful if it can be easily manipulated. I think there is a lot of room for improvement with drones.
