Registration (Score: 1) by hyper@pipedot.org on 2015-08-13 13:49 (#H9C3) I can see this getting to the point where drones will require registration like cars. Maybe even to the point where a licence is required to fly a drone in built up areas. A transponder system perhaps.. no respose equals dead flying machine.

So as the airspace gets more crowded during peak times, a toll is charged automatically to anyone flying. Of course, there will always be a rouge element that refuses to install and use a required chip to enable all of this registration and toll charges. Just like there are millions of unregistered cars with unlicensed drivers in them today. But, unless you are driving an old drone, or built or modified an existing on to disable the system, you should be good.

Or tracked back Home probably. Just like today with licence plate scanning.
