MODERATORS
The main problem would be latency. The video link is the only feedback the pilot gets from the drone, and the pilot is the only control input for the drone (i.e. no assistance, like you get on dji / gps drones). Adding another ~20-50ms of latency in the video link will make things much harder for the pilot.
20-50ms? Is it really that much? I thought that these are using old school VHF cameras and transmitters so there's no digital compression, transmission, decompression you'd get from something like a internet live stream. The analog artifacts in the POV drone speak to it not being digital.
Still better than being blind?
One would need to take the latency into account though. So the operator would need to know if the signal got relayed, as with such fast moving drones reaction time is pretty important, I guess
