"Unlike airplanes, which take off from and land at airports, drones can begin and end their journeys anywhere. That’s an air traffic control nightmare. Since drones don’t have a pilot in a cockpit who can communicate with an air traffic control center about their flight plan and location, having millions of drones in the air flying without someone watching and piloting each aircraft is begging for disaster. All of which means that before drones can be let off the leash, they’re going to have to find a way to communicate—not only with each other but also with manned aircraft, the national air traffic control system, the fire department (if, say, there’s a house fire that a drone needs to avoid), and whoever else needs to know about a flying robot’s course and destination. In many ways, air traffic control for drones is the missing linchpin in Bezos’s dream of ubiquitous drone delivery."...
"The Trump administration ordered that a minimum of at least five pilot sites for testing drone delivery be approved by the end of July. Which means that this year, drone delivery is likely to take off in certain areas across the country, including major cities, long before a national drone traffic management solution is finalized. All kinds of businesses have been eager to hop on the drone bandwagon."...
"And beyond the futuristic ideas proposed, it’s not like Amazon has been quietly waiting for the FAA’s green light. In 2014, tired of the slow pace of FAA approvals, the company decamped to the U.K. to start testing its drone delivery program and has likewise opened testing centers for Amazon Prime Air in Israel, Austria, and France. The company has tested multiple iterations of its delivery drone and has been steadily hiring engineers for years to make its dream of drone delivery reality. Still, Prime Air hasn’t rolled as a full program officially anywhere yet, and if the U.S. does end up following through with the executive order to open the skies in some parts of the country, America’s largest online retailer might roll out its full drone delivery program somewhere in the U.S. first."...
"Uber, for example, is working on a flying car service that the company says it expects to get off the ground by 2020, an unlikely proposition considering commercial drones have been around for decades and still can’t legally fly at night or over crowded areas without someone watching. At the CES trade show in Las Vegas this year, the company Workhorse was set to debut its passenger drone, but it never took off because of the rain. And then there’s the flyer from Kitty Hawk, which you can think of like an aerial motorcycle; the company is helmed by Sebastian Thurn, who formerly pioneered Google’s self-driving car project, and counts among its investors Google co-founder Larry Page. The vehicle seats one person and isn’t supposed to require a pilot’s license to fly. If any of these things have a hope of viability, it will rely in great part on how they fit into a new, highly dynamic air traffic system."...
That kind of information sharing will require a level of interoperable communication that’s not yet standardized across drone-makers, the FAA, or law enforcement—something that would likely be a part of a national air traffic control system that integrated drones. Which means that the communication or data exchange protocols between drones, federal, and local agencies would have to be standardized in such a way that “you won’t be talking in French and I won’t be talking in English when we share information about co-location and our intent,” says Kopardekar.
