From the linked article: "... the drones never fly directly overtop the cars as they?re driving at speed."
Also, Joe Average probably doesn't pay north of $5000~$8000 for their drones, nor fly them with certified FPV operators.


This one almost hit the guy:

That was in December 2015, so one would hope that the UAV systems have improved since then. I would certainly hope that the drone systems being used by production companies, and broadcasters, and their operators (and their flying ability) have improved in the 5 years since that incident.

That was pure operator idiocy. It's all come a very long way since.

'Kill switch' failed as drone (95KG) hit controlled space near Gatwick
july 2019
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-56112694

What was the kill switch supposed to do - make the drone crash
at some place outside Gatwick (or detonate mid-air)?
