Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has announced a series of proposed regulations aimed at easing restrictions on drone operations, particularly for flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). This initiative seeks to boost innovation in the drone industry and improve delivery services by major companies such as Starbucks and Amazon. The new rules may allow drones to operate over longer distances without direct operator supervision, benefiting businesses like Walmart and Alphabet. While this regulatory shift is viewed as essential for U.S. dominance in the drone market, full-scale implementation of drone delivery systems may still take time.
