An overview of Europe's regulatory environment for unmanned aerial vehicles Part I: Legislative Background and Presentation of the Open Category
Abstract
In our modern world, a new industrial revolution has begun, in which artificial intelligence, self-driving vehicles, and drones play a major role. The appearance of unmanned aerial vehicles could mean a paradigm shift in not only the (aviation) transport, but it will also have a major impact on other industries, including trade. Taking all this into consideration, regulation is indispensable.
