"There are restrictions in place for the UAVs that make them less than autonomous, however. The Associated Press reports that the ‘drones won’t be allowed to fly beyond the sight of the operator without an FAA exemption for each route. Also, each flight will need a separate operator.’ UPS will ‘apply for FAA permission to have a single operator fly multiple drones at the same time.’ ”
Big mistake. Remote BLOS operations are conceptually bad, even with dedicated operators. Trying to bat and pitch at the same time invites disaster.
