- ghaff 8y agoThere's a lot of ambiguity about air rights and it's never been precisely defined by either the legislature or the judiciary. It wasn't a big deal before drones (outside of a real estate context). And under current FAA rules drones typically have to stay under 400 ft. It will be "interesting" to see this plays out. It seems obvious that regulations won't allow routine and widespread drone delivery flights to fly a few hundred feet over personal property--given that I suspect a lot of people would be really unhappy about this.
- bdcravens 8y agoI think people in general are freaked out about drones; there's been too many stories of hovering drones with cameras while children play in the pool. FUD or not, it's a concern.
