[QUOTE="STFXG, post: 1451055, member: 41750"] Autopilot and an unmanned aircraft are different. The problem with unmanned aircraft has to do with the communication link. Lags when using satellite, or disruptions when using radio frequencies to control the aircraft. There's a controller on the ground operating the aircraft (drones). That's the major safety issue right now with the technology. The lack of a human in the cockpit leads to problems with current FARs covering visual flight rules. In some airspace IFR rules are not a requirement. The rules for spacing are contingent on the pilots being able to see and avoid each other. This limits the ability of UAVs to operate legally within that airspace. [/QUOTE]
