Drones are expected to revolutionize transportation of goods to geographically isolated areas, especially in natural disasters, such as typhoons or earthquakes. In designing safety measures for drones, designers should evaluate risks of accidents, and determine the level of risk that the society would regard as acceptable. However, it is often difficult to predict how the society would react to an accident. A mock trial may provide guidance for designers because mock trail judges, who are experienced lawyers, could reflect general expectation of the society for safety of new technologies.
