Expectations are growing for future developments.

3. What Will the Future Look Like?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Drones Are Common

Moving by drone will become common, significantly changing urban landscapes. Traditional modes of transportation will decline, and drones flying in the sky will be a part of daily life. As a result, new standards for air traffic management and safety will be established, possibly altering our values regarding transportation.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Significant Drone Technology Advancements

Drone technology will evolve further and responses to emergencies will become quicker and more effective. The transportation of medical supplies and access to disaster-stricken areas will become easier, increasing the chances to save lives. A society prioritizing the safety and health of its people may emerge, ushering in an era where the benefits of technology are felt.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Traditional Modes of Transportation Are Lost

As drones become more widespread, traditional modes of transport and infrastructure may be reconsidered, raising concerns about unemployment and impacts on local economies. With a decrease in ground transportation, connections between regions may weaken, potentially reducing social interactions. The question will be how to overcome the societal challenges that come with technological advancements.
