Short answer is IDK. I do feel like "drone" has become synonymous with RC-noun these days.

At this point, I don't know what would constitute an uav, drone or remote control. Because they all share attributes of each.

This is closest to a mix between the two! The drone's movements were controlled by programming a flight path before and during the flight

The drone has a camera on it that is controlled via a RC remote

Well if it's flight path is either pre programed or generated via an algorithm vs radio commands from user input

Adding waypoints or minimum control while most functions are autonomous. Like a predator drone pilot will use/control the camera while 1/2

The drone itself will be holding a loitering pattern and keeping the drone flying smoothly.
