Here's what companies will do with drones now that it's legal to fly them for money

The skies are about to get substantially more populated with drones. They won't deliver packages to your doorstep anytime soon, but a large menu of other kinds of commercial drone missions will become legal on Monday thanks to new federal rules. The guidelines also make it much simpler to become a commercial drone pilot, lowering the barrier of entry for people and companies to use unmanned aircraft commercially. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's new drone regulations limit commercial operations to relatively low-risk scenarios. The aircraft must weigh less than 55 pounds, remain below 400 feet, and cannot fly beyond the operator's visual line of sight, at night, or directly over crowds of people.
