[QUOTE="UPSER110, post: 2671950, member: 33928"] Here are my thoughts saying in rural areas it could be beneficial. One Delivery on a clear perfect day as we all know isn't the case. 1. How would the drone transmit a video signal? Cell service? a route I run doesn't have service half the day, I cant even get DIAD messages. 2. I am guessing the route will be set up before we leave the building for what stops the drone will deliver. What about heavy rain/wind/snow? Will they be able to fly/see? 3. 10lbs or less, so lots of envelopes or stuff that will blow away. The drone cant put a package in a door,under a mat, or even out of the weather. 4. When the drone is approaching to dock we are just supposed to pull over, or in someones driveway? 5. Where does this money come from? my pkg car has 420k miles, cracks in the floor that let water and cold air in. These new cars, with more moving parts, and drones the maintenance, remote operator, etc wont be cheap at all. [/QUOTE]
