For the first time on U.S. soil, 100 drones flew up all at the same time, synchronized to create a light orchestra in the sky. And the work required special approval. According to Intel, "FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) drone regulations limit individuals and businesses from flying multiple drones simultaneously without special exemption. Since unmanned aerial systems (UAS) can pose risks to the busy and complex U.S. airspace, the FAA has taken incremental steps to address any hazards from the proliferation of drones." After working with the FAA by conducting several tests and providing walkthroughs of the technology used for Drone 100, Intel became the only company to ever receive a Section 333 Exemption for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) per pilot, allowing them to launch 100 drones in Palm Springs, California.
