• Infrastructure and Urban Planning: The widespread adoption of autonomous and driver-assisted cars will
              require updates to infrastructure and urban planning. Smart infrastructure, such as dedicated lanes, vehicle-
              to-infrastructure  communication,  and  charging  stations,  will be  necessary  to  support  the  integration  of
              these vehicles into the transportation network. Additionally, urban planners can rethink city layouts, parking
              requirements, and transportation systems to accommodate the changing landscape of autonomous mobility.
            While there are numerous advantages to autonomous and driver-assisted cars, challenges remain, including
            regulatory frameworks, cybersecurity concerns, and public acceptance. However, ongoing advancements in
            technology, extensive testing, and collaborative efforts between industry stakeholders and policymakers are
            paving the way for a future where autonomous and driver-assisted cars play a prominent role in transforming
            transportation into a safer, more efficient, and accessible system.


            Autonomous Drones
            Autonomous drones are also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These aircrafts can operate and
            navigate  without  human  intervention.  These  drones  are  equipped  with  sensors,  GPS  systems,  and  onboard
            computers that enable them to perform tasks and make decisions autonomously. They can fly pre-programmed
            routes, navigate obstacles, and perform specific functions based on their intended purpose.








































            Benefits & Usage

            There are several industries which can benefit from the use of autonomous drones due to their capabilities and
            potential applications. Here are some examples:
               • Aerial Photography  and Videography:  The  film  and  media  industry  widely  utilises  autonomous  drones
              for capturing stunning aerial footage. These drones can be programmed to follow specific flight paths and
              record high-quality images and videos, providing unique perspectives for cinematography, advertising, and
              documentary production.
