Signature events will move regulation forward.
That is what drones will be facing after a catastrophic shut down of the second largest airport in UK due to a single drone.
While the drone came back every time the airport tried to reopen, the operator(s) hasn’t been found/caught.
An “effective” measure and procedure to prevent similar things will be formulated.
But problems won’t be solved.
I see drone issues more like gun issues – and eventually might be a “to-ban-or-not-to-ban” choice made by countries. Or a strict military control of technology.
This event will certainly make itself in the future history when regulations are put together.
