I've read a lot of articles about farmers using drones to remotely view their fields, with stuff like thermal cameras so they know what needs to be watered. Can't immediately think of any other common uses, but people are creative. And as the article says, the rules should loosen a little by the end of the year.

Think of anything we use a helicopter for now, and drones will probably help cheaply supplant those uses wherever possible.
