I-Apple izosebenzisa ama-drones ukuthuthukisa i-Apple Maps

Ngo-2016, abakwa-Apple baqhamuke nohlelo lokuthi bangathanda ukusebenzisa amanethiwekhi aminyene ama-drones azofaka imininingwane yawo yezithombe kusizindalwazi se-Apple Maps. Idatha yemephu izobe inembe kakhulu, njengoba i-Apple izoba nokufinyelela okungcono olwazini lwamanje nezinguquko emigwaqweni. Njengoba kubonakala, ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kwemibili, umqondo usuqala ukuhunyushwa ekusebenzeni, njengoba i-Apple ingenye yezinkampani ezimbalwa ezifake isicelo semvume yokusebenzisa ama-drones ngisho nangaphezu kwemithetho enqunywe yi-US Federal Aviation Administration.

U-Apple, kanye nedlanzana lezinye izinkampani, ufake isicelo ku-US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sokukhululwa emithethweni yamanje ephathelene nokulawulwa kokusebenza kwe-drone. Kukule mithetho lapho umsebenzisi ondiza nama-drones alawulwa ngendlela yokuvikela izigameko ezingase zibe khona emoyeni naphansi. Uma i-Apple ithola ukukhululwa, izoba nokufinyelela (futhi ingene) endaweni yomoya engaphandle kwemingcele kwizakhamizi ezijwayelekile. Empeleni, lokhu kusho ukuthi i-Apple ingandizisa ama-drones ayo phezu kwamadolobha, ngqo phezu kwamakhanda ezakhamuzi.

Kusukela kulo mzamo, inkampani ithembisa ukuyihlinzeka ngamathuba amasha ngokuphelele okuthola ulwazi, okungase kuhlanganiswe nezinto zayo zemephu. Ngakho-ke, i-Apple Maps ingaphendula ngokuvumelana nezimo ekuvaleni okusanda kwakhiwa, ukusebenza kwemigwaqo emisha noma ithuthukise ulwazi ngesimo sethrafikhi kanjalo.

Omele i-Apple uqinisekise umzamo oshiwo ngenhla futhi wanikeza ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nemfihlo yabahlali, okungase kuphazanyiswe kakhulu umsebenzi ofanayo. Ngokwesitatimende esisemthethweni, i-Apple ihlose ukususa noma yimiphi imininingwane ebucayi ngaphambi kokuthi imininingwane evela kuma-drones ifinyelele kubasebenzisi. Empeleni, kufanele kube into efanayo nokwenzeka esimweni se-Google Street View - okungukuthi, ubuso babantu obufiphele, izinombolo zezinombolo zezimoto ezifiphaziwe kanye nenye idatha yomuntu siqu (isibonelo, omaka bamagama eminyango, njll.).

Njengamanje, i-Apple inelayisensi yokusebenzisa ama-drones eNyakatho Carolina, lapho umsebenzi wokuhlola uzokwenzeka khona. Uma konke kuhamba kahle futhi isevisi ibonakala iphumelele, inkampani ihlela ukuyikhulisa kancane kancane kulo lonke elase-United States, ikakhulukazi emadolobheni amakhulu nasezikhungweni. Ekugcineni, le sevisi kufanele inwebe ngaphandle kwase-US, kodwa lokho kusekude kakhulu esikhathini esizayo.
