Amazon and other companies have been working on drone delivery systems for years and now the Federal Aviation Administration has issued its final version of safety rules for drones that fly over people and at night.
The new rules make way for the further integration of drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns. One set of rules lays out a system for remote identification of drones, a key part to hold manufacturers and operators accountable if things go wrong. Drone operators will have 18 months to start producing drones with Remote ID, and operators will be given an additional year to start using drones with Remote ID.
