[QUOTE="11.19igrad, post: 4608138, member: 79500"] yea drone airspace is regulated federally, ive looked into drones and the license required and learning about controlled airspace, permissions, height, clouds, etc, its crazy. One thing that drones cant do is deliver to specific apartments or highrises. unless they dump them in a dumpster for people to dig out. the other issue i see is a drone can only carry one package at a time and then it has to return to get another and drones have to be operated so you need people to control the drones and people to reload the drones. Also, what about proximity to the packages? Drone regulations only allow for so many hundreds of feet from the operator. Unless corporations have an entirely different class of permissions. Still begs the question, who is going to build, supply and operate all of these drone hubs? Drones cant replace drivers. You have pickups, drivers know customers and their preferences, quirks, access codes, etc, etc. Unless this is the beginning of a centralized delivery system that renders delivery to each doorstep a relic of the past. I do think a lot of the system can be modernized and help curb co2 emissions. But with automation and consideration for the planet comes distress for the workforce. One can only hope that there is a collective integration that utilizes technology, cultivates the human ability to adapt and corporations offer their workforce opportunities to advance into new technology and sustain communities.
