FCC opens door for increased drone, vehicle-safety technologies

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted to expand the use of short-range radars, paving the way for increased use of advanced car safety features, emergency response drones and health care monitoring.

Under the decision, technology such as detectors for hot cars, pedestrian monitors and drones for a range of purposes such as construction, safety and commercial uses, will be able to come to market more rapidly than ever before.

“Many cutting-edge technologies rely on short-range radars to support important applications,” the FCC said in a statement. “The new rules will accelerate the time for these devices to reach the marketplace for use by consumers and in commercial applications.”
