Am I the only one who doesn’t want drones flying all around the neighborhood delivering stuff? I really don’t want this.
Solid meh from me. Only thing I really don’t like about it is it’s likely to impact the personal rights to fly drones we enjoy today (which are already being chipped away).
Otherwise, they’re probably not very loud or frequent, don’t really present much of a privacy issue vs. what street view already has, and they maybe make the roads a bit safer. Might take some jobs away from delivery van drivers. Nothing seems worth getting overly concerned for.
I see the downsides. But I also see the delivery vans in my neighborhood that are always double parking and blocking traffic. At least in the air, traffic can be routed in 3d.
wait until people start leasing roof space as a forward operational point where a carrier drone can land, and release a swarm of last mile fullfilment drones, pick up returns, etc.
Stick some thin strong wire up over your back garden, and order a bunch of stuff from Amazon.
There. Now you have a whole bunch of free drone parts.
no, you're probably not the only one. bring it up at the next concerned citizens action committee meeting
Consider that drones substitute for cars and trucks driving through neighborhoods.
For the same payload delivered, ground vehicles cause significantly more property damage, environmental damage, and injuries/deaths.
Annoying drone buzzing when it works, 80lb bricks from heaven when it doesn't. Not really looking forward to that future.
