I think from watching all the videos of self navigating quadrocopters that do tricks I can safely assume that a lot of people (including the government) can

The quadrocopters you're seeing on youtube generally have very specific navigation requirements that require lot of infrastructure and preparation in the area they're flying.

More so than drones I think. Internal flying vs external, the former has to deal with much more restrictions (physically) than the latter.
