Drones can be a major aid in property inspections for insurers

Insurance company ‘State Farm’ has become the first insurer to win approval for commercial drone use from the FAA. The drones’ high-resolution image technology allows for accurate assessments of property damage, meaning insurance adjusters will no longer have to risk their safety by climbing on damaged roofs. This nod of approval from the FAA could lead to widespread commercial use of unmanned aerial vehicles in addition to future utility and telecom inspections.
