France trialing intelligent drones for drowning prevention
France is currently testing intelligent drones equipped with artificial intelligence to monitor individuals at risk of drowning and automatically deploy rescue buoys, aiming to reduce the number of drownings, which totaled 274 cases over two and a half months. This technology relies on drones equipped with thermal cameras that track the shoreline, monitor swimmers from a safe distance, and automatically send buoys when necessary. The necessary permits are expected to be granted within a month, with the project planned to be rolled out by summer 2027, in order to improve rescue operations and decrease loss of life.
