FAA finally proposes rules for drones. It will keep all the same rules as before, but will now remove it's ban on commercial use:

This is very interesting because I'm currently working on an autonomous quadcopter. (Links in signature). At this point, it is interesting to see the standpoint of the US in comparison to other nations. As mentioned by the article, many other countries have made the commercial use of drones a much easier process. Hopefully as UAV's are further researched/developed, lawmakers won't hinder that research. UAVs offer an amazing opportunity to improve overall quality of life. Whether it's farming, search and rescue, or military applications, I see UAVs having an important role in our society the same way other developments have like cars and telephones. That development is a ways away, but it has great potential.

Ibaeni is right on target on the opinion of the drones. 8)
Could not have said it better myself. ;D
There will be some people to abuse the technology :'(, but that is
with everything; as long as the abusers are in check, the
advancement for drones will continue, and benefit everyone. ;D
