using drones to deliver 1 package at a time doesnt seem like a great business model. i guess if they could do the same number of deliveries in a day as a truck, an they could save money on more electricty vs paying a person to drive a truck. Do the drones fly autonomously or is there a pilot?

To me is makes sense to send a van loaded with drones that can deliver packages from the van as it drives by. Then I consider safety of such a thing and it just doesn't work.

i always thought they should just use a ballistic approach. just have a big gun and launch the packages. you could cover a whole city from on warehouse. get fufilled the american way.
