In the Voronezh region, on the M4 Don highway, a unique accident for Russia occurred: a truck collided with a quadrocopter. On the contrary, the quadcopter literally pierced the truck. On the highway, a drone flew into the windshield of the car, patrolling the highway and the surrounding area. The damage is impressive: the “flying camera” pierced the plywood through and through. “Zhuzhik” descended or flew to the car? And whose was it, which automatically translates to “who will answer”?
Patrolling roads with flying cameras is an old dream of domestic road cops, because such a tool is not tied to one place, sees much more than an ordinary camera, because it is much higher, and can also recover some offenses that are out of the scope of control of the traditional complex. “Oncoming”, “double solid” and further down the list.
In short, the chance of unpunished traffic violations is decreasing, the number of fines issued is growing. However, to date there is no legal justification for flying the drone along the road – the helicopter must hover in a strictly defined place. If, of course, it is a police drone.
In the video you can easily see the model – before us is the DJI Mavic, an ordinary civilian quadrocopter, the cost of which starts at 150,000 rubles. The device can stay in the air for no more than 36 minutes – in the warm season and calm weather – after which it must be “returned” to the ground to replace the battery.
