Topic:The Drone of Drones
Abstract:It seems everywhere you turn these days there’s something about Drones. Yet the information tends to be at once both scattered in subject and specific to one particular type of Drone – QuadCopters. But the industry itself has much more reach and potential – yet has many hazards from both malevolent and untrained users and regulatory systems that are much less agile than the technology and the industry itself. We’ll take a look at the various industry components that make up assorted drone markets, and the potentials they promise.
