Collection of crash data using autonomous or semi-autonomous drones

A computer-implemented method of collecting autonomous or semi-autonomous drone data for insurance-related purposes, the method comprising:

• determining or receiving, via one or more processors, a crash GPS location associated with a crash location of a crash scene, the crash GPS location associated with an insurance-related event occurring at the crash scene;
• generating, at the one or more processors, a pre-generated flight path for an autonomous or semi-autonomous drone based upon the crash GPS location, including a length and/or width of the crash scene, or a radius around the crash GPS location, the autonomous or semi-autonomous drone being mounted, or held securely in place, on an emergency response vehicle traveling to the crash location;
• uploading, via the one or more processors, the pre-generated flight path to the autonomous or semi-autonomous drone, or memory unit thereof;
• and
• once the emergency response vehicle arrives at the crash scene, autonomously or semi-autonomously flying under the direction and control of the one or more processors the autonomous or semi-autonomous drone in accordance with the pre-generated flight path at the crash location to collect drone data associated with the crash scene to facilitate using the drone data for insurance-related activity.
