[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 88055, member: 894"] I read the article and it seems like a waste of time to deliver one package at a time, even though a pilot can operate 5 drones at once. What product does Google have to deliver? Goods from local businesses. Ok, so it's going to leave its base of operation or hive, (it is a drone btw), go to my local business, pickup the package and bring it to my house. What happens when I have to send the package back for some reason, call up Google? What about people that live in a housing complex like an apartment or condominium? Since they got approval to operate as an airline, I would hope there would be enough airspace for everyone. 0-400' for hobbyist, 400' and up for commercial drones and aircraft. When the delivery drone goes to a house, it could do so above 400', then descend over the target down and then lower the package from a tether from below 100' if permissible. NASA put a drone on Mars that way. Technology is coming fast, maybe too fast. Have you seen the [URL='https://youtu.be/kHBcVlqpvZ8'][B][I]Boston Dynamics "dogs"?[/I][/B][/URL] Yikes.:oops: [/QUOTE]
