Japan may relax its drone rules to protect crops
Japan is leery about the threat drones possess after one deposited radioactive material on the home of its Prime Minister. That doesn't mean that the country doesn't recognize their potential as well, which is why it's currently mulling a relaxation of its tight rules. According to the Yomiuri Shimbum / Japan News, officials are planning "special drone zones," that'll enable UAVs to be flown around island regions and mountains. Initially, the technology will be tested to see if it can serve a practical purpose away from densely-populated urban regions.
