^And even less in the rest of the world.

Seriously, that's only good for sending packages to the country. For a city with its big buildings, that's useless. So the question is, is that transport method cheaper than paying the courier?



Please excuse my bad English.

Dear goddess the sound of that thing is like a nest of wasps from hell are coming for you >_>. No wonder everyone will try to shoot this thing down in the US.

I can see this being *great* for things like Amazon deliveries and what not, but I can also see this being *horrible* for people's privacy. All it would take is a federal law mandating all delivery drones to have cameras equipped, and be recording everything 24/7, with a requirement that the government is allowed to seize the footage at will. Basically, there would be no privacy anymore.

That law is so going to happen, if it's not being talked about in D.C. already.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

Yeah. This ain't gonna work right. For a few reasons besides the whole shooting and privacy. What if you have a simple rain hood at your door. Will the drone drop your package off in your backyard? What if your yard has a hood too and a umbrella table. Power lines, trees ETC. My backyard has all these things. And my front door. I wonder if they save money by just hiring 30 min truck drivers. Over repair and mantianace.
