I would be interested to know how on-demand the No Fly zones can be updated -- interesting tool to, say, ensure there aren't any amateur camera-copters floating around accident scenes, public demonstrations an the like.
This also raises the question of who's making these decisions and why. It makes you think if these decisions could be open to influence somehow.
Say a rich tenet in a NYC penthouse doesn't want any drones flying around his building. How do you enact a geofence around his building and then enforce that?
Instead of the standard alphanumerical plates that are affixed to cars, drones would be equipped with a set of bright, multicolored LED lights. The lights would flash in a unique sequence that would correlate to the owner. A smartphone app would identify the pattern and search the database for the operator the vehicle is registered to.
