How do you feel about the prospect of drone delivery?

I think that the porch pirates will up the anti by having futuristic drones robbing the legit drones. Or assassinations?

I am also intrigued by the concept of drone delivery. Hopefully will lower prices, and faster deliveries.

I’m fine with it.

Makes me very nervous until some time has passed to see how it goes.

I look forward to people shooting them down for loot, like in a video game.

I’m fine with it.

I guess the problem with it is drones also invading people’s privacy if while delivering it is also taking photos and videos.

I fell like this is another situation where laws to protect the citizenry might be far behind the technology and usage.

The problem with drones is that they can only deliver one package at a time, with a weight limit to boot, so there would have to be thousands of them filling the sky even in smaller towns, whereas with regular delivery a van can just fill up and deliver them along a route.
And drones will not ring your doorbell either.
I expect package theft to skyrocket.

@ragingloli Makes sense. Maybe it is good for more remote areas? How far can they fly? Also, doesn’t weather need to be fairly perfect to not risk them crashing?

To focus on the scale of package delivery, there were over 4 billion packages delivered in 2023 in Germany alone.
can you imagine what the sky would look like if they were to be all delivered via drone?
Like it was filled with swarms of robotic locusts.

@ragingloli the delivery guys (including Amazon people) never ring doorbells where I live.
