[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 108388, member: 18605"] Agreed. While there has been a lot of speculation that the giants of package delivery are elbowing their way forward at the expense of non-commercial drones, I have serious doubts that it will be as prolific as envisioned. Amazon/UPS/FedEx can load a van with maybe 50+ parcels of various sizes and send it out to numerous neighborhoods or businesses. I doubt delivery drones' payload capacities will be anywhere close to that and will be limited to small packages. They might be cost effective for specialized products/services, say lab samples transported between a hospital and lab facility, but otherwise it does not seem to me like a business model that will make traditional delivery methods obsolete.
