Why can’t we get packages or food delivered via drone to our doorstep? The simple answer is regulatory uncertainty. Drones are regulated by a host of local rules that govern where they can and cannot fly, including prohibitions of flying at a low altitude over private property. Until a feasible policy solution is suggested and tested, drone operation will remain very limited.
