The DOT to allow drone operators to fly over people as well as at night WITHOUT a waiver!

[PointGeorge]

"The Department of Transportation made three major announcements Monday: it proposed regulations to allow drone operators to fly over people as well as at night WITHOUT a waiver or an exemption;"

"Category 2. No operational restriction aircraft. Weighs more than 0.55 pounds and:

• Has been satisfactorily demonstrated to the FAA by the manufacturer they are below the Category 2 injury threshold,
• No exposed rotating parts that could lacerate human skin, and
• No FAA-identified safety defect."

Am I to understand correctly that the Phantom 4 would not be able to pass this requirement?
