The United States will allow small drones to fly over people during the night, the Federal Aviation Administration announced Monday (December 28).
The FAA’s decision to allow at-night operations marks a significant advancement in the use of drones for commercial deliveries. Among the new rules for unmanned aerial vehicles include a focus on security concerns by requiring Remote ID technology that enables drone identification from the ground as well as anti-collision lights for nighttime operations. Another change will require small drones to not have open rotating parts that could slash human skin.
Once published in the federal register in January, these rules will take effect 60 days later.
