How People Are Allowed To Fly Drones Indoors At CES

Ever wonder how drones are shown off at CES?

Plenty of exhibitors simply displayed their drones on the ground at their booths, but some would actually give flying demos.

Due to safety concerns, you're not usually allowed to fly a drone indoors at CES, but exhibitors were given a pass this year if they constructed a flying zone at their booth using massive mesh nets.
