US plans drone registry in response to safety concerns
by Staff and Reuters from Technology | The Guardian on (#QRYA)
Number of sightings of unauthorised drone flights this year expected to be nearly 1,100, and more than 1m drone sales predicted for next year
Drone users in the US will soon be required to register their aircraft with the Department of Transportation in an attempt to address safety concerns over the growing number of unauthorised flights.
The register, to be unveiled on Monday, comes in response to concerns about a surge in incidents where drones have flown near airports and crowded public venues.
