Hallmark: Yes. It should be the truck drivers’ responsibility to safely back up, with or without a beep.
It should be your responsibility as a pedestrian/bike rider to be aware of your surroundings and watch for potential dangers so you won’t get flattened.
Yes but it’s not the truck driver that does it, the powers that be have decided that pedestrians are much safer if it it automatic and I have to agree because these are the people that have to pick up the pieces of negligent people , you can see by reading this thread that a huge amount of users think this beeping is to simply alert them , that is not what it is for it’s to alert those around that there is a drone landing no longer under the control of the pilot.
So I’m sure if the beeping annoys the truck driver he is likely not to turn it on or forget to turn it on. Safety is the most important concern when flying drones to try to reduce or water down safety measures is asking for problems.
You will read many posts on this thread from people that are embarrassed by the beeping it’s easy to tell who they are concerned about, I certainly wouldn’t trust them with my safety.
The reality is if you are a competent pilot you can bring home and land your drone and in exceptional situations or as your manual tells (Only use in emergency situations) this beeping will alert those around landing area and will also let the pilot know that his aircraft is returning, it’s when the pilot can’t hear the beeping he knows he has a problem.
I think your quote is more about privacy than safety. |
