Introduction
Nowadays, the unmanned aerial vehicle is being more and more widely used in social life since its first application in commercial field. Many people are concerned about their safety and privacy being invaded by drones. So far, there is no strict limitation or law over unmanned aircraft. Some people think it necessary, but others do not.
This essay will look on the different opinions over whether the government ought to limit UAV of commercial use more, and give out the conclusion.
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, also known as UAV or drone, is a product which has been widely applied in public use in recent years. “Besides border security duties, a variety of UAV's are increasingly being used inside the U.S. for law enforcement and …show more content…

Mainly, safety and privacy are the most vital question. Through easy operation and with a low cost, UAV owners can make their vehicle fly over nearly any place and freely take pictures, which causes many people to worry about their privacy to be invaded by drones. In addition, for lack of training and restriction, UAV users are not always skillful enough to handle the drones. If an UAV loses control in its flight, it might drop directly to the ground and cause serious injuries. “Potential impacts with the ground can be equally as dangerous as mid-air collisions. If a UAV system fails, impacts a populated area and the debris penetrates shelters, it is possible that the public on the ground could be fatally injured” (Weibel and Hanson 2005). Besides, UAV can be easily put into malicious use, and it is hard to prevent this without government …show more content…

“In traditional aircraft, the air traffic control system will give out a series of commands to the pilot by radio, and the pilot will adjust to avoid collision” (Wiebel and Hansman 68). However, there is no such effective way of collision avoiding while operating unmanned aircrafts, which is a major reason of the high accident rate of UAV. “UAV accidents are multiple times higher than their piloted counterparts” (CRS). Besides, for traditional aircrafts pilots, the drones are uncertain factors during their flight. They can hardly foresee the route of drones, and thus have difficulty avoiding conflict with
