DETROIT – It used to be that when people talked about drones, they were discussing the male genders of various species such as bees or ants. Today, the definition of drone has come to mean an unmanned aerial vehicle.

We know these drones are used for military operations, surveillance, photography and even as toys. They can be used by farmers to survey crops, and some have been used to survey natural or manmade disasters and to deliver much-needed food and medicines.  A company named Matternet is using drones to deliver food and water to remote African villages.

We hear promising forecasts of how they will be used by companies like Amazon to deliver goods to your door. High flying drones can be used to enhance news coverage, film sporting events and add new dimensions to movies and television. But we also hear about their danger if drones should stray into the flight paths of aircraft or if they crash in populated areas. From January to August of 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration reported over 700 close encounters between drones and airliners.

Recently, they disrupted the use of firefighting equipment in wildfires in the West. It’s also possible that they might be used for nefarious purposes; an 18-year-old young man posted video of a drone remotely shooting a gun. Drones have promise and potential, but they are not risk-free.

John Mohyi has ideas, lots of ideas. And ideas about drone technology are foremost in his mind right now.
