The latest on the drone revolution comes from the US, where the Federal Aviation Authority appears to be relenting on its traditionally hard line approach to the technology. New rules coming into law will dispense with the FAA’s previous requirement that drone operators had to apply for special waivers that were both a time-consuming and expensive to use drones for business. The country is still a long way behind others though, with consumers in New Zealand will soon be receiving pizza deliveries by drone after developer Flirtey signed a project deal with Domino’s Pizza.
