AEDs are an excellent idea but an awful lot of public places already
have one mounted on a wall somewhere. If you dial 999 and they decide
you need one, you will be directed to the closest. As, in the UK at
least, drones have to be within 500m of the operator, the extra
complication of a drone seems pointless.

Dunno, it would make vandalism much less of a
problem and would likely be much cheaper too.

Even where I know of units placed on a wall in the high street,
vandalism does not seem to be a problem. Possibly the fact that the box
is clearly marked that opening it will alert the emergency services and
there is CCTV covering the area might help.


And that approach would fix the problem I had too.

And the within 500m of the operator wouldn’t have to apply to those.

As the law stands in the UK, it would. Strictly, the rule is that the
drone must stay within the operator's line of sight, which is generally
taken to be 500m horizontally and 400ft vertically.
