DJI proposes electronic accountability for drones
Ben Coxworth for New Atlas: There may indeed be laws limiting the places in which aerial drones can be flown, but if someone sees a drone breaking one of those laws - particularly if it's from a distance - how do they know who's responsible?

The idea is that all drones would come equipped with inexpensive radio equipment that transmits both their location and a user-specific identification code.
