Regulatory Hurdles for Drone Delivery
Drone delivery needs to comply with regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US. These regulations address concerns around airspace management, pilot certification, drone safety features, and noise limitations. As drone technology evolves, the FAA will likely need to adapt and update regulations to accommodate this new mode of delivery.
