We have seen drones delivering mail and other packages in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, to some extent, and now they're going to be making deliveries in Singapore too.
- deliver mail
- inspect buildings
- conduct security
There are already some companies in the region who have started testing the capabilities of drones and the potential for their commercial use.
The civil aviation authority in the region has allegedly backed the project and has suggested that it's going to help to drastically transform logistics and mobility in the region.
This could help to cut down on some of the traffic in the area; they see some of the worst traffic jams in the world. It's been previously estimated that Singapore motorists spend more time on the road than they do watching television or shopping; an average of 9 hours every week on the road and many (over 70 percent) worry about getting into an accident.
It might not take long for the drones to be adopted into other industries throughout Singapore as well.
Whether it's inspecting buildings, fires, crime scenes, or farmland, the drones are helping to save time and money.
With the growing acceptance and prevalence of drone use in the region, Singapore might eventually establish itself as the drone hub of the world, further helping to solidify its position of being known as an innovative tech leader.
