Japan to finalise strategy for drones, self-driving trucks in June<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe International Air Transport Association (IATA), which sets global standards for the aviation industry, counted 856 cases worldwide between January 2013 and August 2015 of a drone getting too close to a plane for comfort.<\/p>\n
