This is similar to the landscape for self-driving cars, but I don’t see how it’s an impediment. Maybe someone can tell me where I’m wrong: Even if only one country in the world encourages these kinds of autonomy, isn’t that adequate for the development phase of the tech? If, say, India permits autonomous drones broadly... 1) That market alone can sustain all the research and initial marketing to sustain the industry to where there are mature product offerings. 2) Once there are mature product offerings, then any country that allows them will put their citizens at a competitive advantage. 3) Since permission is more easily granted than revoked, that advantage will spread faster than it contracts. 4) At some point there is a tipping point where money is clearly left on the table in banning countries, and the bans become a clear disadvantage. 5) Autonomy is permitted in all but a few markets. I honestly don’t even see how that process would even slow growth, let alone halt it. People act like these technologies are ready-to-roll and regulation is an impediment, but it seems like regulators can move pretty slow and still be fairly close to the growth curve the development and marketing timeline is capable of.
