Can't see where the original poster mentions search and rescue. Is that the joke?

EDIT: sounded grumpy

    FWIW, I have met recruiters for drone companies who talk up their “search and rescue” as if their startup is funded exclusively by the Red Cross.

    Spoiler Alert: their founder was quoted saying that he wants to use drones to taser migrants crossing the border.

  • The original poster maybe, but looking this up myself the first article I see has this quote.

    Search and rescue teams, filmmakers, and defense planners all share a common challenge: GPS coverage degrades precisely in the dense, complex environments where autonomous navigation matters most.

    That's probably part of what they're referring to. Part of it probably linked to an article like this Yahoo article I'm looking at that mentions Search and Rescue.
