Technology has to work together and unfortunately sometimes accidents happen.

To a certain extent yes, at speeds of less than 60mph and you mention cost... However, 60mph doesn’t cut in a car chase. Drone line of sight ops are quite restrictive too. Like I said they have their place, but can’t compare to what’s achievable in a helo.
