How long before someone just gets as close as possible in a truck and deploys 100s of autonomous drones in a swarm to scan an area in detail and report anything significant?

I mean the technology for controlling drones like that is there, given these drone airshows. But it's a ton of data that needs to be processed, it may be a capacity and bandwidth issue / challenge as well.

Give it time, I'd say. Only a matter of time before there's drones autonomously mapping out big areas and computers assembling the data.
