Thank you for making this point, I completely agree!

A drone is not some mysterious thing that flies itself.
a drone is a Remote-Controlled Aircraft with a pilot who:
a. has hand held controlls and must have visual contact of plane when flying it

b.sits in an office at his computer and must radar and satellite visuals to fly his aircraft.
A pilot is a highly trained individual to fly aircraft and understand navigation aids and protocols to insure the aircraft are not flying into one another, buildings and people.
Lets de-mystify remote-Control Aircraft (drones) and admit that if you kill by remote-contol, you are still a killer.

By the time drones are "capable of flying in cities," won't cars also be self driving, leading to fewer traffic accidents by themselves? Not sure I buy this particular argument about drones' safety advantage over land based vehicles...
