    We're going to see a lot more of this as time goes on. More and more people without any skill, understanding, or experience at all are buying these things. They must think that the technology will protect them. Wrong! It can only end bad!

    Agreed. My guess will be that operating them near people may in the future require liability insurance, just like driving a car does. There are plenty of unskilled drivers on the road.
