I have to say I didn’t like what I was hearing from most of the interviewed panel, this would have really been a good occasion to have been represented…

Good article.

"Testimony from Doug Davis, who heads the Federal Aviation Administration's Unmanned Aircraft Program Office, made it clear that no one should look to the sky for pizza just yet. The FAA has begun work on making flight rules for small vehicles—weighing 20 pounds or less—but those won't be finished until 2010 or 2011, and he said bigger vehicles may not fly routinely for another decade or more after that."

The pizza deal is kinda funny, a few years ago there was a story floating around and a guy was quoted as saying, UAV’s someday would be used to deliver pizza. Someone’s got to get on writing the code to make sure it brings the pepper and parmesan cheese.
