How can be used Autonomous Passenger Drones in Sri Lanka for economic

development.

 Fast technological innovations have provided the latest products at affordable prices
to the consumers.  Traditionally, drones have been limited to military use due to their
high cost and technological innovation. These vehicles have advanced VTOL
capability and therefore can land and take off from almost anywhere because they
may not require an established airport/vertiport. However, with such features,
products can be upgraded if they can be offered to consumers at an affordable price.
 Technology has even more potential for the future, including economic growth
forecasts of significant GDP in the countries where it is currently operating, and the
creation of a large number of full-time jobs each year.  Accordingly, the establishment
of this technology in Sri Lanka will lead to high economic growth and the creation of
full-time jobs through those manufacturing companies every year.  Job creation using
commercial drones consists primarily of manufacturing jobs and drone operators. 
 Also, the state will benefit from unforeseen taxes that arise from increased economic
activity.
 The decline in drone costs and technological advancement is encouraging significant
investments in the technology.
 The growing urban population and their aspiration to avoid traffic congestion will
further push the passenger drone market growth during the forecast period. Growing
demand from emerging economies, and technological advancements are factors
expected to provide numerous growth opportunities in the coming years.
 Owing to the rapid developments in autonomous-flight systems, batteries, and electric
power, there has been a steep rise in the sales of drones. And with the increase in
demand for these complementary products, production is growing.  At the same time,
the market will grow.
 Numerous entrepreneurs have been developing unmanned systems that can carry
passengers in them. The ultimate goal of entrepreneurs and participating companies is
to develop a drone that can be parked outside the home like a normal car or booked
with the help of a smartphone app such as a taxi.
 Huge investments are being done by companies for designing and developing
passenger drones, which would significantly propel the market growth.
 Factors such as focusing on reducing vehicular pollution, government and aviation
industry support, aerial drone innovations, and high research and development
investments offer promising growth opportunities for the market.
 With the advancement of this technology, the tourist attraction will increase. It is
possible to develop the tourism industry in Sri Lanka.
 With this growth, the technology can be applied to other fields as well.
