EASA Drone Conference Focuses on Societal Concerns
Safety, noise, and privacy issues must be solved before realizing a vision where drones provide urban transportation and package deliveries.

“The vision of a world where drones are used safely and efficiently to provide transportation, emergency services, and small-package deliveries can become a reality only if safety standards are met and solutions found to issues such as noise and privacy,” EASA executive director Patrick Ky said at the agency’s conference on drones earlier this month in Amsterdam.
