because the FAA has been doing a lot to help try and ensure drones coming in a safe and standardized way.

因為 FAA 最近一直在努力讓無人機可以有一個安全且標準化的使用方法

What are they doing in terms of potentially hurting humans?

在可能會傷到人的這個考量之下，他們現在有在做什麼相關動作嗎？

Well, right now the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration,

現在 FAA，也就是美國聯邦航空總署

is trying to write the first basic rules that allow widespread flights over human beings, over crowds of people.

正在研擬有關無人機飛過一大群人上空的相關基本法規

The rules are a little bit on the haul.

不過這個法規有一點點延宕

They are trying to figure out how to deal with security concerns,

因為還有一些安全上的疑慮待澄清

like how does the police know whether a drone is legal to be over a crowd or not.

像是基層的警察知不知道無人機飛過一大群人上空到底是不是合法的

And it's also caught up in the Trump administration's go slow approach on new regulations,

也有受到川普政府對於新規定審核過程比較緩慢的影響

but they are working feverishly to come up with these standards right now.

但他們現在確實正在如火如荼的進行相關標準的設立

And in terms of how the researchers are helping aligning themselves to where the standard might be set.

那研究者可以怎麼幫助這些法規的訂位呢？

I mean I can think of the big companies that want it.

我是指，我可以想像有很多大公司會想要有這個技術

If Amazon is gonna be delivering your football shirt to you in the crowd,

例如亞馬遜想要用無人機發放足球衣給群眾

you're gonna need to be able to ensure that it's allowed.

你必須要確定這是安全、被允許的

What are the researchers doing to ensure that they don't hurt us?

這些研究者要怎麼確保無人機不會傷害到我們呢？

Well the whole point of this research is, you know this is such a new industry,

這整項研究的重點就是，你要先知道這是個很新的領域

people don't know what is gonna happen if in the worst case scenario.

我們不知道最糟糕的狀況到底會長怎樣

You know when you have millions of these consumer drones being sold to people,

當你有數百萬計的無人機是賣給群眾的

what happens if one falls out of the sky and hits a child in the head?

如果有一台不小心從天上掉下來砸到一個小孩的頭呢？

So what they are trying to do with these tests is to figure out what the parameters are,

所以他們想要嘗試在這些測驗中找出參數

and then once they do that, as we heard in the video, then they can start try to figure out mitigation,

一旦找到，就像剛剛影片中講的，他們就會開始著手進行減小傷害的各種措施

put padding on, cover the propellers,

多加一些塞墊、把螺旋槳給包覆起來、

build a mat of materials that break apart so they don't hurt as much when they impact, etc.

或是研發比較容易碎成小塊的材質，減少撞擊所帶來的傷害，諸如此類的

That's really the point of the research right now.

這是現在研究的重點

Have there been any incident or accident that are hurting people this such or it's pretty minimal thus far ?

目前為止有任何事件或意外是真的有這麼嚴重的傷到人的嗎，還是其實都還算輕微？

You know it's hard get the handle on the actual numbers,

其實我們很難掌握確切的數量

but if you go out on YouTube and online there are really scores of cases.

但如果你去 YouTube 或上網找看看，真的可以找到非常多案件

There was a tragic story in the U.K. last year, or the year before, which a toddler lost an eye

去年，還是前年就有一個很令人悲痛的消息，一個孩童就因為無人機失去了一隻眼睛

You know, there are a lot of them out there.

其實還有非常多類似的事件
