On Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration scaled back restrictions on remote-controlled drones,
potentially making it easier for businesses to use them for deliveries in the future. Under these new rules,
drones can now be flown over people and can be operated at night, according to the FAA.
The less-restrictive laws "get us closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as the delivery of packages," says FAA Administrator Stephen Dickson.
And according to Brian Wynne, chief executive of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, the new rules will have "additional untold benefits for American society."
