MANSFIELD, Ohio — An autonomous drone may soon serve as a “first responder” for the City of Mansfield safety forces.
“When a call comes in at 123 Main Street, the (911) dispatcher hits that address, the box opens, the drone immediately (flies out) without a drone pilot or without a visual observer being there,” Safety Service Director Keith Porch said Tuesday evening.
“It automatically goes and it hovers over that address,” Porch said during a demonstration of the new technology to members of City Council as local lawmakers gathered before their scheduled meeting.
