License Plates for Drones Could Make Rogue Operators Accountable

So far this year commercial pilots in the U.S. have reported 650 sightings of drones near their aircraft to the Federal Aviation Administration. In only a tiny fraction of those reports was the operator identified—and complaints of drones causing danger or invading privacy will surely grow as the small aircraft get cheaper and more capable.Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, are now testing a kind of license plate for drones they think could help make drone operators more accountable.
