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.
