Imagine clusters of drones equipped with intelligent lighting modules, ready to brighten dark areas during power outages or emergencies. These drones transmit real-time video to nearby police stations, improving public safety. This innovative invention could also potentially save lives and help those stranded on highways. The system also has applications beyond emergencies, such as merging surveillance cameras with intelligent lighting to create a virtual security network, deterring wrongdoers and ensuring safety.
