EFF Staff Technologist Dr. Jeremy Gillula will speak on the technology behind drones as well as their impact on safety and civil liberties. From the event website:

"Drones, much more than remote controlled toys!

The positive benefits are often overshadowed by news stories of drones smuggling drugs into prisons, flying too close to airliners, impeding the efforts to fight wildfires, stalking neighbors, invading sensitive airspace and trespassing.

Join us for a lively discussion on the advanced technology of drones and autonomous systems – as well as their place in our everyday lives, their impact on our safety, and questions about civil liberties."
