Drones Over UK Roads Soon

from Birmingham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

UK road authorities are testing tiny drones to patrol highways, aiming to launch them by 2027 for safer, smarter maintenance. Using VR simulators, they’re gauging driver reactions—measuring heart rate, eye movements, and distraction levels—to see if drones fly too close. Early feedback is mixed, but one participant called it cool and said distracted drivers have bigger issues. This tech could soon spread globally, reshaping how we monitor roads for efficiency and safety. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
