The insurance referenced in the article is liability insurance. That is so California. If passed, I suspect act NY will quickly follow (they hate to have fewer laws and restrictions than CA). After a few more states, the problem will taper off as many of the "free" states will chafe at such a rule.
Note that this is very different than the "no deductible" type of insurance others have mentioned. That type of insurance will pay of your drone if lost, stolen or damaged (exact terms depend on the actual policy).
The type of insurance in the article is liability, and protects against lawsuits for damage caused by you and your drone. This will not replace your Phantom, but will pay to repair the dent in your neighbors car where your Phantom crashed into it.
Remember that most insurance policies exclude actions which are willfully negligent or illegal. Also note that your homeowners policy (if you or your parents have one) will likely protect against most cases of liability. |
