Commercial Drone Delivery is a scourge.

How is it any cheaper than a long haired teenager you pay peanuts and make use their own car.

Electric flying is pretty much seeing how close to a dead short you can run without setting it on fire.

You should look into the wright brother's invention (the one they invented in 1903) and let us all know how many years it took before it stopped being a real joke to being something useful. But dont stop at military use. How many years before it became useful for the everyday Joe down the street? The lessons we learned in the history of the time it takes to develop emerging technology are still applicable today. As far as drones are concerned, they are in their infancy.

Hey, at least now they can bring Santa to town!

Yes Max I totally agree with you. All is in development . And like you say it will take many years maybe 15 or 20 years given the technology at this present time.
I am just tired of seeing circus act. But I have to get use to that fact. Since it is all part of development.

I think I posted an Ag drone here a while ago.
Here is another offering: This guy is using it to crop-dust his rice fields.

Don't think the drones ever where the problem ; only the operators who misused them !
