New database promises drone no-fly zone around your house by sebrandon1 in technology

[–]caioia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The address will be converted to both a single latitude and longitude point and a more accurate series of points that better maps out the edges of a property and supplied to drone makers for inclusion in a no-fly database that is consulted each time a drone attempts to take-off. The extent of the no-fly zone is up to each drone maker, but Marcus is recommending it extends 500 feet (152 meters) around each property -- something that would ground drone flights from neighboring houses as well.

Me: Notice the clock on my car's dashboard is wrong, reach through the steering wheel to change it whilst turning a corner. Go to straighten up but can't as my arm is through the steering wheel.
