FAA gives insurance giant AIG approval to replace human inspectors with drones
Every year, in big cities and small town across the US, insurance inspectors scramble up onto the roofs of buildings to check for storm damage and venture into structures ravaged by natural disasters. In the otherwise boring world of processing and paying claims, this field work can actually be quite dangerous. Which is why the insurance giant AIG announced today it had been granted an exemption by the FAA to start using drones in place of humans on these kinds of risky jobs.
