Expect to see insurance for drones go away or premiums go way up. Insurance companies aren't going to want to replace drones every time some one dips it into the water.
Actually, I'd disagree; drone prices are generally trending down, not up, especially for the consumer market. Knowing you'll get $60/yr from new customers - who may also bring new business with them in the form of auto, home, or life insurance - likely means that State Farm is going to make serious money on this. Replacing a $1000 consumer drone (and again, prices are headed down) every so often while collecting $60/yr from potentially hundreds of thousands of new owners over the next several years, plus potentially earning their other insurance business, equals BIG MONEY to State Farm.
