There’s a good case to be made that life preservers on a public beach could be attached to a delivery drone as a standard procedure now.
Smith noticed several emergency life preservers placed along the beach. Acting quickly, he grabbed one and used his drone to fly it out over the water. His first attempt missed the girl, but on the second try, he was able to lower the preserver within her reach.
The story says the drone operator just wants to go back to killing sharks, but really he should start a company focused on saving humans. Imagine boats having emergency drones too, including breathing apparatus.
