Federal regulators have cleared three of the nation’s largest property insurers to use unmanned aircraft to inspections of everything from hail-damaged roofs to collapsed buildings to flooded neighborhoods.
American International Group Inc. said that it received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to use drones to conduct inspections in the U.S. The FAA previously had approved State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. and United Services Automobile Association, or USAA, to test drones in the U.S., said the Wall Street Journal.
