Conclusion

While most of the public discussion and media coverage has been about the military uses of drones, all evidence suggests that domestic drones are shaping up to have a transformative impact on everyday life in the United States. And when other countries have military drone capabilities, domestic use will be common throughout the world as well. Domestic drones can be used in nonviolent ways by government and can prove to be useful in anything from fighting crime to fighting forest fires. The technology can even be used to create commercial opportunities for taco-loving citizens! As explained in this chapter, however, privacy is a serious and growing concern. Technological glitches and the ability to spoof GPS signals combine to make domestic use something to be wary of. At the same time, positive uses by citizen groups are in the works. Drone manufacturers and advocates are likely to be in the “long game,” and will be content to make only gradual progress toward their ultimate goal of free rein for domestic drone aircraft around the world.
