Ford specialists have patented an autonomous drone that can be programmed using the car's multimedia system. So the company announced its new approach to security.
The quadcopter is programmed for a variety of tasks. For example, escorting a vehicle or detecting it after an accident.
The novelty is equipped with a manual control system, as well as many personal settings, and is stored in the trunk of the car. There is also his charger.
For example, a drone is able to fly behind a car and shoot it on video. It can also be configured to guard and patrol. With it, you can scout inaccessible places.
The most difficult and useful function is to alert rescuers about the location of the car that had an accident. The quadrocopter at this moment flies over the vehicle, turns on the siren, sends the coordinates of the accident to the nearest emergency response services.
The timing of the appearance of new items is still unknown, as well as who will be engaged in production - Ford or delegate it to someone.
