A trade group representing Alphabet Inc.’s Project Wing and other companies is asking Congress to impose new restrictions on the hobbyists who fly millions of drones in the U.S.
Congress passed a law in 2012 exempting hobbyist drone operators from U.S. aviation regulations if they adhered to safety rules established by users’ groups, a provision that has rankled companies like Project Wing as it seeks order in the skies to deliver consumer goods by the flying devices.
