Witnesses testified on the domestic remotely-piloted aerial vehicle industry. They focused on economic potential and legal hurdles facing the commercialization of the drone industry as the federal government moves toward allowing the technology to be tested at a handful of different sites. Topics included technical, privacy, and administrative issues.
