Description:

There are upsides to drones, but major downsides too. In Canada, the use of drones is relatively unregulated; their operation is almost impossible to police. They can hover over you in the privacy of your backyard or watch you through your bedroom window. Safety is a problem, too. There have been close calls involving near crashes with commercial airplanes, and identifying the owner of a drone is next to impossible if they are flying by remote or by GPS. In The Age of the Drone, lawyer and robotics expert Ryan Calo defines the drone dilemma as he sees it: “I have three concerns regarding the domestic use of drones. The first is massive surveillance by the government. The second is that private parties will use drones to harass one another. The third is that because of the backlash, the amazing potential of drones will never be realized.” <43mn>
