Ο Nikola Tesla ήταν τόσο μπροστά της εποχής του που σήμερα υπάρχει και μια αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία με το όνομά του. Εκτός από τη συμβολή του στα εναλλακτικά σημερινά ηλεκτρικά συστήματα, ο εφευρέτης προέβλεψε και τα smartphones, την τηλεόραση, και προφανώς τα μη επανδρωμένα σκάφη ή drones, which he believed could cause the destruction of humanity.
In a patent granted to 8 in November 1898 o Tesla described an invention that did not require wires or electrical conductors.
Nikola Tesla's patent was for a meta methodmovementof "vessels" from "producing waves, or radiations received through the earth, water, or atmosphere" which can reach the object as long as it "remains within an active area."
So the inventor was talking about the radio waves, which were still relatively new at the time the patent was issued (1867 was first introduced and 1890 was used in communications).
He describes them as "electrical oscillations that do not follow a specific conductive path, but propagate in straight lines through space."
The patent, entitled "Method Of And Apparatus For Controlling Mechanism Of Moving Vessels Or Vehicles", also describes Tesla's predictions for drone wars, and states that it will bring peace between nations because of its "certain and unlimited destructiveness." ”
Tesla's patent and claims were first reported on the Internet by technologist Matthew Schroyer when he published quotes and a patent scan on Twitter.

It is worth noting that Nikola Tesla predicted the dynamics of drones more than a century before unmanned aerial vehicles (or UAVs) were used in the so-called war on terror. The US alone has killed thousands of people in drone blows.
The first unmanned aircraft used in warfare, or more specifically, the first unmanned aerial vehicle, was invented in World War I. It was called the Kettering Bug and it was a bomb that carried a biplane that could fly in a predetermined path to a target. The project was not perfected until the end of the war.
