This is somewhat in the same vein as the Zipline drone that we talked about just yesterday, where a drone can prove to be a savior in times of emergencies, as it brings about much needed supplies to the one who requires them. Basically, Google’s drone rescue service works this way – you press a button for a specific medical emergency, where a drone will then be deployed to where you are.
This quick action will definitely save a whole lot of minutes when it comes to responding to an emergency, and this might mean a difference between life and death. Of course, this is no replacement for human first responders, but is an immediate response before the EMS teams arrive shortly afterwards.
Such a drone-calling station will hook up to the drones and a dispatch network through different means, ranging from telephone networks to cellular, wireless, fiber, or other data networks. Definitely makes driving around long stretches of wasteland or desert a whole lot more reassuring.
