Drone Deliveries Expected to Increase Substantially As Concerns About Safety Remain

Drones are increasingly being used to deliver packages and food orders. These commercial drones often fly beyond the line-of-sight of their operator—meaning the person piloting the drone can’t see it but instead relies on other means to detect and avoid collisions.
