Drones: Applications and Legal Questions

10 am

Journalists, farmers, and filmmakers see exciting potential in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones. But the FAA claims they are unsafe and violate the civil air-space. Until those questions are decided, drones will continue to occupy the skies. This hour we'll talk about the applications for drone technology, and implications for freedom of speech and privacy.

 Guests:

  • Michael Braasch, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Russ College of Engineering and Technology, Ohio University
  • Gary Daniels, chief lobbyist for the ACLU of Ohio
  • Matt Waite, Director of Drone Journalism Lab, Univ. of Nebraska- Lincoln
