UPS had "all female drone pilot" team. All they did was strapping the little brown box onto the drone's belly and press the drone "fly" button. What happened to this team?

They strapped the little brown box to their hammy clammy and pressed the “fly” button.

UPS actually is moving forward with drone delivery. In fact, the company has been given clearance by the FAA to fly its machines beyond the line of sight, meaning they can now fly greater distances to a delivery location. Before the FAA’s approval, drone flights by the shipping giant needed someone on the ground to keep visual track of the machine as it flew through the sky to ensure safe travel. UPS will now install a ground-based radar system to scan the skies for potential air traffic issues, with a remote pilot on hand to deal with such cases. Getting permission from the FAA to fly beyond the line of sight is a breakthrough moment for the company and opens up more possibilities for its drone delivery service in the coming months and years.

They’re all mad and not talking to each other at the moment.

People will find a way to fk with those things…just like they have been doing to the driverless vehicles in Arizona.
