One of the questions I鈥檝e been asked about my post last week on Milo Danger and his DIY paintball-armed drone is: what does that mean for privacy?

Part of the answer is that the paintball drone is a reminder that drones are a technology鈥攏ot a closed system, but an open platform where the full flower of human ingenuity and creativity will be able to express itself. We clever humans are likely to think of 1,001 surprising new uses for drones. Some of those uses will be very beneficial鈥攁nd sometimes just cool. That is one of the reasons why, despite the looming threat of pervasive drone-based surveillance, we at the 老澳门开奖结果 have not taken the position, urged by some, that all drones should just be banned in domestic airspace.

For example, in response to my post on the paintball drone, a commenter points us to this of a skateboarder on the streets of Prague at night, created with a drone. It鈥檚 really a work of art, and as our commenter 鈥済regorylent鈥� points out, is genuinely in that sense the opposite of the paintball drone video.

Other things people (and institutions) come up with will be scary, including on the privacy front. That鈥檚 why we need to set down some good rules, protections and boundaries now鈥攕o we can relax and enjoy the benefits of drones without their being overtaken and consumed by the dark side of the technology鈥檚 potential.

Speaking of the dark side, thanks also to commenter 鈥淣ick P,鈥� who alerts us to of a drone armed with a real gun. A colleague also sent me to this , which, though it borders on parody (or may be a promotion for a video game, I can鈥檛 tell), does certainly show a real armed drone. I don鈥檛 know who or what is behind either of those videos, however; one of the things that made Milo Danger鈥檚 video scary is its apparently inexpensive and amateur origins.
