LOL.
Thought as much. We can't even prevent the keyless system from causing breakdowns. Dream on.
Some (many) times, new tech just doesn't apply to a job.

Keyless and push start are two of the best things since sliced bread.
Apparently a certified technician disagrees with you.

You deliver boxes for a living. And Your going to take cheapshots at someone who is a skilled tradesman?

I can't believe you said that.
Unlike you, he needs just a little more than a driver's license and a high school diploma to do his job. And, consider that your life and safety are in your mechanic's hands.

I am a skilled tradesmen as well aka ex-certified mechanic. Upstate u have no clue about anything engineering or mechanic related
This stuff is all doable as we speak. A little more maitnance will be required but it's doable
FYI these drones have sensors all over, they won't hit anything.
Keep saying it won't happen guys.

All of this will be pre programmed with an Orion type system. While at a stop, Orion will instruct the driver which package to load into the drone. The drone will leave and meet the driver later.
They can also setup a charging system to recharge the drone while in the drone dock on top of the truck
From how it appears this type of system can be retro fitted.
My question is, if the drone is sent to 15xx Something Road, and the actual residence is 200 yards off the road, where will it drop the package?
Google maps are good, but far from perfect. If the residence is under a tree canopy and was never really photographed, what happens?

Especially when some a-holes tries to go under a branch that he thought was higher than it really was and damages the roof.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
The stockholders are eating this up. Let's stop all the negativity. Just look how good Orion is. These guys know what's best for all of us.

Why do i have this feeling that you are going to cover your drone with peanut butter

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Out of 30 something package cars I can't say we have more than 2 that the door actually pops open with the keyless.
