In this study we assess the extent to which the regulations governing the use of drones in the United States address the concerns held by the public they are meant to protect. In general, respondents were most supportive of those regulations that could be categorized as limiting one's exposure to an unwanted drone. The most popular policies were those that protected personal privacy, while the least popular were those that hampered drones used for public safety. The largest discrepancy was found to be respondents' preference for laws protecting personal privacy compared with the lack of regulatory constraints currently in place. Federal regulators have only begun to introduce regulations on how drones can be used in our national airspace, with additional regulations for other types and sizes of drones likely to be introduced in the future. The results of this study may be utilized by regulators and lawmakers to create a regulatory structure that effectively mitigates risk and supports the public interest.
在本研究中，我们评估了美国有关无人机使用的法规在多大程度上解决了其旨在保护的公众所关注的问题。总体而言，受访者最支持那些可归类为限制人们接触不需要的无人机的法规。最受欢迎的政策是那些保护个人隐私的政策，而最不受欢迎的是那些阻碍用于公共安全的无人机的政策。研究发现，与目前缺乏监管限制相比，受访者对保护个人隐私法律的偏好存在最大差异。联邦监管机构才刚刚开始出台有关无人机如何在我国领空使用的法规，未来可能还会出台针对其他类型和尺寸无人机的更多法规。本研究结果可供监管机构和立法者用于创建一个有效降低风险并支持公共利益的监管架构。
