“President Donald Trump issued a mandate last month that would roll back some ‘overly burdensome’ Federal Aviation Administration regulations on drone use. The new initiative proposes to set up ‘innovation zones’ in certain state and local jurisdictions where drone operators could test the technology outside the visual line of sight, near people and at night. Those conditions are restricted by the FAA if the operator doesn’t have a specific waiver.”
