Abstract:
In an approach to hazard detection, one or more computer processors receive a request from a first vehicle user for assistance from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The one or more computer processors locate a UAV. The one or more computer processors determine the location of the first vehicle. The one or more computer processors deploy the UAV to the location of the first vehicle. The one or more computer processors determine whether one or more hazards associated with a path of the first vehicle are detected.
