Bear in mind that the 'typical' collisions so far reported involve 4 lb UAVs and slow movers, resulting in little more than a small dent on the F/W and a 'Game Over' message on the controller's screen.
One interesting quote, not included in the DN article, came from the U.S. Army's PM-UAS a couple of weeks back: "I can guarantee that the annual fatality rate will not be zero when UAVs enter the NAS [National Aerospace System]."
So, yes, improved deconfliction will increasingly become an issue.
