Can you imagine those things buzzing all around a city at low altitude. I guess you would get to the point of ignoring and not noticing but the air space is about the last place that isn’t full of something. I’d miss being able to stare into spae and not seeing anything.

What is more, they will crash and drop things. Get ready for that. Ditto on self driving cars and trucks. Sure they crash now but mostly they are not simply out of control.

Programmers do so well on simple stuff like billing programs that operate flawlessly we know how well they will program to compensate for random acts of nature and people. /s

They’ll develop lanes/patterns and altitude standards ... going/returning, heavy slow, light fast. I expect since people won’t want them over their houses that they’ll follow road layouts earlier on...we’ll see.

Probably end up with vernacular like Fedex/UPS lane being where the cargo planes are, Amazon/walmart lane where the drone packages are, and 7-11/Dominoes lane (or whichever fast food place is first) for food deliveries.
