State Farm has been granted the first national waiver to any company in the U.S. by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The national waiver allows the company to conduct drone operations over people and flights beyond the pilot’s visual line of sight through November 2022.
“It’s been a team effort to make drone technology a reality,” Robert Yi, senior vice president for property & casualty claims, said in a press release. “The waiver will provide our claims specialist with another way to efficiently help customers. We can use drones to assess on-the-ground damage and deploy resources.”
