Another so-far unsung story about "the future of manufacturing": the extent to which drones are a global phenomenon is utterly amazing to me
-
-
There are seemingly quite few places in the world you can look to that haven't created regulations governing drones.
-
This seems like something that would previously have taken a few decades to spread around the globe.
-
Keep in mind — there was not even a drone section at CES 2014. This has expanded *so quickly*.

@starsandrobots Were these regulations not primarily driven by air safety concerns? Aviation authorities tend to move quickly on safety. -
@psneeze it's surprising to see laws arrive in developing countries simultaneously with developed ones in response to the same phenomenon -
@psneeze it may be a subtle diff but I think regulations include a point addressing public safety -
@psneeze that said drones are also a powerful technology and laws are like as not about getting control over what ppl can do with this -
@starsandrobots Our (Ireland's) regs, part of aviation rules, are quite sensible. See https://www.iaa.ie/general-aviation/drones … This may change of course.
