It appears that the FAA will have to lay down groundwork for allowing drones to fly in US airspace. Not only will police use rise but private companies maybe allowed to fly drones to do aerial mapping and maybe surveillance. Need to know what the wife or husband is doing, have a PI use his drone to follow them, although a GPS tag under the bumper would be cheaper, with the drone you have video and possibly audio. So if you are laying out in your backyard, ladies, and you take that top off for a little tan someone may be watching you. And they do not even need a warrant!
On another front, farm tractors are starting to be turned into drones.
I can just see a drone tractor going wild. Some of them are bigger than a semi now!!
FAA told to make room for drones in U.S. skiesWithin a few years, that flying object overhead might not be a bird or a plane, but an unmanned aircraft.
Drones, perhaps best known for their combat missions in Afghanistan, are increasingly looking to share room in U.S. skies with passenger planes. And that's prompting safety concerns.
Right now, remote-controlled drones are used in the U.S. mostly by the military and Customs and Border Patrol in restricted airspace.
Now, organizations from police forces searching for missing persons to academic researchers counting seals on the polar ice cap is eager to launch drones weighing a few pounds to some the size of a jetliner in the same airspace as passenger planes.
On Monday, the Senate sent to President Obama legislation that would require the Federal Aviation Administration to devise ways for that to happen safely in three years.

Last month the 46-year-old farm implement company demonstrated to dealers its new "autonomy" system developed with Jaybridge Robotics of Cambridge, Mass., which uses guidance communications systems to allow tractors to run without human operators.
