2018 Predictions For The Drone Industry

By: Laurie Bedord

As we look ahead to 2018, Ivan Tolchinsky, CEO of Atlas Dynamics, a young aerospace company providing autonomous and semiautonomous professional drone solutions, gives his predictions on where he believes the drone industry is headed.

1. Regulation will increase. This will be driven by concerns over safety, privacy, and the illicit use of consumer drones to commit terror attacks. “Subsequently, this will open the market further for commercial drones, having begun to prove their worth in providing disaster relief this past summer when the U.S. was hit with back-to-back hurricanes,” he says.
