This is a very silly statement. Poll 100 people if they're afraid to walk on the sidewalk because cars jump the curbs all the time and 100 of them will tell you that "rogue cars" are not amongst their key worries. 1) Not autonomous ones. 2) Not unlicensed pilots (except for gliders and ultralights, which face their own restrictions). 3) Not for commercial purposes. 4) Not without substantial limitations on the airspace they can inhabit. 5) Not without substantial insurance policies. 6) Not without an equal weight on file for every part on the aircraft. I can buy an FPV quadcopter off Woot. For my dad to fly his Mooney without someone sitting next to him took 60 hours of flight training. There's no equivalence. You can lead a horse to water...I would argue most cars aren't.
No, but planes do, and we trust them with human lives, not iPad mini's.
As long as people drive cars, get on airplanes, and fly spaceships, you're going to have a hard time convincing me that unmanned drones are a bad idea.
