Is drone delivery practical?

i mean driveless trains, cars, delivery-cars and taxis have a future but drons isn´t, because it has a lot problems but the principal if error appers occurs the drone can hit someone or worst they can provoce a car crash accident

There is one issue with drone delivery the same thing that exists with helicopter travel. It’s just easier to deal with a broken truck vs a flying object that is now falling

[@josephcro2138]

Helicopter and delivery drone are 2 entirely different things. Helicopter weight is in tons, drones in 10-15 pounds. Plus drone are powered by a battery and electromotors, they are far less complex than helicopter.

Why don't drones have parachutes or something to minimize the impact of falling from the sky. Seems inevitable that it would cause great safety concerns for humans and the environment at scale. Love the concept but we need to find ways to make them safer and lose public trust before it can even be earned.

Have you seen terrible car crashings???? It doesn't mean that cars are suck!! And you have to take them all away.... It means that you have to be careful will driving and keep all the road rules....

Is it practical when people start shooting them down and stealing?

[@ahmedo7875]

It’s not practical really considering most customers will be in densely populated areas and the margin for error for a drone to malfunction will be really low and any problems could have bad effects like hitting buildings and people

Not practical for delivery of everyday items and using them for such is doomed for failure. Too many risks, too many lawyers, too many weather variables and no problem being solved. Let me know when one of these drone delivery companies turn a profit by delivering everyday items. How long will investors continue to throw money at a problem that doesn't exist? I'm quite certain we have delivery of everyday items within 6 miles of a major retailer figured out.

[@TedBackus]

i knew the tech was nowhere near the level of being autonomous, even with human pilots its not feasible. there may be places it can be implemented, but there are so many limitations. for example if you have large apartment buildings, drones couldnt deliver to them, unless there was a specific group drone drop off, where the tenant would come down & get it, which presents a host of other issues. you dont need to be a genius to see the challenges that are presented with this, which is why amazon dropped it

Also people will definitely try to steal no way this is practical. Imagine: An amazon drone fell from the sky and killed 2 people.
