I’m suggesting it’s a very lightweight regulation. We are in this weird time, where actual safety is hard to ascertain.
The safest solution is to simply ban drones. But, there might be some utility there. Building up a history of risk would be super helpful. Some things are obvious. A six ounce toy is less dangerous than a 12 rotor monster. But that toy can still cause problems when it’s floating over the freeway.
I think insurance would create a data collection environment that could drive more realistic, useful regulations.
FWIW, movie studios generally require 5 million liability for drone shots. It’s pretty cheap to purchase, but those pilots are professional. Expanding to amateurs is complicated. Insurance gives some visibility into that complexity.
