Washington Post - Possible waiver elimination for Flying over crowds and @ night

Washington Post The FAA is Taking Encouraging-steps-on-regulating-drones-it-should-go-further/

Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao announced this month that the FAA will work on standards this year for remote identification of small unmanned aircrafts. Officials also plan to allow pilots to fly over crowds and at night without a waiver, provided they meet certain requirements. It’s an encouraging pair of proposals: Remote ID will make drones safer, and the step up in safety will make it easier to eliminate restrictions that hamper a burgeoning industry.

Interesting... positive except "remote identification" is slightly scary.

Will take one bad crash of drone falling 400' on a person's head in a crowd for that to go away.
