Drones at the margins. RPAs applications fork community and citizen-led applications.
summary
Panel investigates civilian and community drone uses, showing concrete cases and tech limits: journalism captures the Harlem gas explosion from a hobbyist and CNN begins FAA testing; crowd-counting in Budapest produces a 36,000 crowd estimate from drone imagery versus vague media claims; a shared autonomous neighborhood-watch prototype struggles with indoor GPS, stabilization and flight control; conservation flights (13 MP imagery) reveal illegal logging and prompt enforcement. Recurrent problems: data ownership for collective drones, cross‑cultural privacy norms, and unclear retention/secondary‑use rules.
