FAA vs NSA

How autonomous drones will change the delivery of everything

The FAA has long had a contentious relationship with drone companies for years, and some would say for good reason. There are a number of questions that still need to be answered in terms of how to deal with airspace restrictions, noise complaints, and liability in the event that packages are dropped, damaged, or hit people.

Switzerland shut down a drone delivery program in April after a drone crashed near a group of children. There have been other crashes throughout the years, which prompted the FAA to put the brakes on most attempts to popularize drone usage in the US.


But the last two years have seen a wave of changes, mostly because drones are now being rapidly adopted across the world through American companies like Matternet, Zipline, Skycart, Flirtey and others.
Right now the solution is in Tim Cook's hands, and I will pester the guy until he solves the problem.

Just like AppleID can secure data, AppleID can secure the flight software for drones.   Google will not do the right thing, it is up to Tim or we will be in a world of a mess.
