[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4240682, member: 77939"] Make what up? Are you telling me that UPS is going to pay a "driver/pilot/whatever" to watch that drone make a delivery? Why? Think critically about all this. Look at that picture you sent. Now apply it to how our business is run. Your daily routine. Where does this fit. Again, we can't even make an electric vehicle with more than a cursory range. We are light years away from AI of any consequence. Lastly, (now think hard about this) can you(in your daily delivery routine) imagine stopping your pkg car like in the picture, setting up the drone with a pkg, piloting it to completion etc.etc. When you could have delivered the pkg and been long gone. And...what if the customer has a screened in porch or the million other scenarios for DR(pilot release)? Or that dreaded German Shepherd waiting. Yeah, I just made all this up. Ok genius, now you tell me how its going to revolutionize delivery. [/QUOTE]
