That is actually better for private operators (aka R/C aircraft hobbyists). In Germany for example: Autonomous flight not allowed, using video downlink to fly (FPV) not allowed, in France extensive licensing is needed for aerial imagery even if you would only take a shot of your own backyard, etc.

I wonder how its possible to enforce these regulations? I guess one way would be simply not allowing drones to be sold in the open markets.
