EU drone regulations ban autonomous drones from being flown. This made me stop work on them, this is not a mindset problem. It's actually a corruption problem as Google wanted to sell their software to coordinate drone flights and the EU people were "persuaded" to enact regulations to make this happen.

It's not a surprise that EU countries perform similarly as they have to abide by the same laws and therefore are all restricted in the same ways. For example EU drone regulations prohibit the flying of autonomous drones therefore killing innovation in that area.

Firstly I would not go back to London unless I had the protection level of a government Minister. My life is not worth any amount of money and violence is out of control.
Secondly the government acts as an economic terrorist by stopping innovation. Search engines and social media are a classic example by treating them as publishers so the owners are liable for any copyright infraction. No one is going to build a company with the threat of being prosecuted over the actions of one of their users. This goes for hardware as well, e.g. the government brought in the EU regulations on drones, which bans the flight of autonomous drones and thus stops innovation. This means people like myself who were working on autonomous drones had to stop, causing me to lose out on millions in revenue and the government missed out on the taxes I would have paid.
Short of a revolution or an economic collapse nothing will change. The latter is baked in at this point, when and how bad it will be I do not know, I'm hoping for the best and planning for the worst.

To misquote Bill Clinton, it depends on what the means of 'you' is.

Try navigating using the ATAK app, it can pull in maps and topology-

Overview This is a tutorial to help you go from "Zero to Hero" (or perhaps zero to competent user?) on ATAK-Civ. ATAK is a very powerful, enterprise-quality collaborative geospatial situational awareness (SA) tool. That is, it helps you get around like any mapping tool (e.g. Google Maps), but it has a tremendous amount of additional functionality and it is very extensible, though most of the plugins developed either at Government expense or for Government use, are not released to the public. ATAK is much more powerful and easier to use when used in conjunction with a server. See Server options below.
Time Expectation If you have a device configured with ATAK already, it takes about fifteen minutes to get the basics squared away. If you are coming into this fresh, it may take you a couple hours to configure a device and learn your way around.

From his book blurb "According to Girard, humans don’t desire anything independently. Human desire is mimetic―we imitate what other people want.", he just described NPCs. I'm not an NPC, and would be surprised if there are any here.

"At present the CAA do not allow for these types of flights as there has to be some degree of collision avoidance in that the aircraft must be kept in visual line of sight at all times to avoid a collision.
The CAA does not regulate the use of drones indoors and there is a short section on indoor use at the following web page, about ½ way down the page.

As if a search and rescue, or crop monitoring drone would be useful inside a building, complete madness.
