  • A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or, in simple terms, a 'flying robot.'

    Drones are either operated manually from land or by in-built programming.

    From a long time, drones have been used for surveillance, traffic monitoring, search, rescue and whether monitoring purposes.

    More recently, drones grew its presence in the market and are used for personal purposes like photography.

    Credits:
  • In June 2016, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) came up with new laws for the usage of commercial drones.

    While the U.S. approved the usage of commercial drones, they have not agreed for automated drone delivery.

    According to FAA guidelines, a commercial drone should weigh less than 25kg, with an average speed under 160kmph and should not fly above 400 ft.

    Problems for Amazon and Google

    Problems for Amazon and Google
  • After being successful in testing their delivery drones, Amazon and Google hit a road block under the new guidelines introduced by FAA.

    Under the new rules, a drone was to be in sight of the pilot, even if it has cameras, and should be flown during specified times of a day.

    These guidelines have temporarily, if not permanently, brought trouble for drone manufacturers.
