Amazon patented a self -destructive drone

The American company Amazon received a patent for a system of controlled destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles in the air. The description of the application was published on the website of the Bureau of Patent and Trading Stamps of the United States.

According to N+1 , in a critical situation, the system will consistently separate and discard parts of the drone to correct the course and protect the objects on the ground and transported cargo. According to the plan of Amazon engineers, the proposed system must evaluate the surrounding environment and, due to the consistent separation of the components, direct them to safe places in order to minimize the possible damage from the crash crash.

Recall that Amazon has been working on a system of delivery of orders to customers using drones for several years: the first commercial delivery was carried out by the company in the UK at the end of last year. At the same time, the introduction of such an Amazon system and other companies in densely populated cities causes fears related to the safety of people and other objects that can suffer in the event of drones fall.

Recently, Amazon has received a number of patents regarding the use of drones. So, the company patented flying pierzhabas warehouses , as well as a driving system with a drone using a parachute.
