The same goes for bicycles being used on roadways. No education, licensing, etc (at least in the U.S.).

Do any countries have licensing for biclysists?

You can't compare the regulations/education on cars to those on airplanes, just like you can't compare the regulations/education on bikes to drones.

Airspace is not a road way, it can't be compared to one.

I'm specifically talking about the USA (Hence FAA regulations) but this does affect every country.

Edit: added /education

It's funny that you say that now after agreeing with, and adding to the comparison of drones = cars and planes = bicycles. Now when someone flips the comparison, equating drones to bicycles, the comparison is apples to oranges?

He was comparing the anonymity and risk factors.

You were looking at regulations, which doesn't really work. Drones/Airplanes and Bikes/Cars are two different beasts. If you wanted a real comparison, look at driving an automated empty car on the road and a car on the road. That would be an apt comparison.
