Someday soon, you may not be waiting for packages delivered by a truck -- instead, they'll come overhead, by drone. But they might look a little different from what you've seen before. The Federal Aviation Administration announced new rules Monday for what it calls "unmanned aircraft" that weigh more than 0.55 pounds (or 0.25 kilograms) to operate around people during the day and night. Among the new rules, the FAA said drones will need to broadcast their identification through a new system called [URL='https://www.faa.gov/news/media/attachments/RemoteID_Final_Rule.pdf']Remote ID[/URL], which will help the government track both the drones and their base "control" stations. Drones operating at night will also need to have anti-collision lights and it must have no "exposed rotating parts" (like the flight blades) that could cut human skin. And those who manage the drones will need to have a drone pilot's license with them whenever operating the aircraft. [/QUOTE]
