Your argument would kill all but the major airline companies. . .but it does not. It is the regulations/certification of the operators, aircrew and ground, that are subject to the most regulation. So, no, get a commercial license/certification and meet FAA standards (https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/afs/) and you are in business. Many do. I know plenty of basic commercial pilots owning one to two aircraft and they fly deliveries and shuttle people.

The only issue now is how to ensure UAV detect and avoid/sense and avoid are meeting at least manned standards.

Chart on right-side. Look at the total numbers. Amazon and Google aren’t even a single-digit percentage of those numbers.

But I get your point, you hate Amazon and Google and hate what you feel they can do, and argue against having national regulations in place to ensure proper training and certifications in the aviation world.

Your entire premise is flawed.

Government isn’t the answer, it’s the disease.

Why in Nine Blue Hells does an unmanned delivery drone need to meet manned flight regs?
