FEATURE iStock.com Safety and Privacy Policy Regarding Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) by: Logan T. DiTullio Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are a revolutionary technology that has emboldened the creative power of entrepreneurs and the general public. However, they are a fast-moving technology that has outpaced regulatory activity. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) minimally regulates UAVs to protect people from physical harm and to ensure that privacy rights are not violated, but growing safety and privacy concerns have spurred calls for the FAA to update current regulations. This work reviews the current regulations, discusses policy concerns, and identifies areas for potential regulatory change. Areas for change could address the maximum weight, maximum speed, and the flight locations of recreational and commercial UAVs. Also, the implementation of anti-collision technology and geo-fencing should be explored. THE BRIDGE // Issue 3 2017 11http://www.iStock.com
