Drone like flying vehicles are much safer and cheaper than helicopters. Or will be at least.

I don't really agree with that. Helicopters can auto-rotate, drones can't. If something goes wrong with a drone system, it is going to crash hard guaranteed and likely doesn't have any meaningful control on the way down.

Literally any failure of the aircraft means you die.
