Nobody would be told its safe. As an attorney I think it would be a pretty easy argument that if you go into the ocean you assume the risk of whatever danger lurks below even though there are spotter drones out there
If a person drowns and there is a lifeguard on the beach, there is no guarantee you wont still drown, right?
But if I were a surfer, kayaker etc... I would love knowing that should a drone spot a shark, a loud siren would be heard or strobe light or something. The idea being that some warning is better than no warning and at the end of the day, there is no guarantee a drone will see anything at all depending on water conditions etc...
Also, obviously drones cant be everywhere...it would have to be for known hot spots with enough human traffic to justify
Just seems like such reasonable thing and somewhat easy thing to do given the fact that we put a man on the moon 3 years before I was born
