Yeah, I can see that. Too bad because "drone" also has the connotation of "dumb" or "slave", which is the opposite of what you want an autonomous vehicle to be that's sharing your airspace. (It makes more sense in the remotely-piloted case, as in the military versions.) But words take on their own lives, and I guess there are now "drones".
- Robotbeat 7y agoDrones must fly below 400 feet and thus are not sharing the airspace with crewed vehicles (which fly above 500 feet).
- thelazydogsback 7y agoYes - literally your airspace...
- penagwin 7y agoDepends: > Maximum altitude of 400 feet above ground level (AGL) or, if higher than 400 feet AGL, remain within 400 feet of a structure. You can also apply for a waiver.
