Anyway, I guess the main problem is that most people will not want a sky full of drones just so that some random Joes can get their stuff from Amazon or AliExpress a little sooner.
If the skies fill with drones while traffic jams ease, there’s less double parking for delivery, and streets generally start looking more airy, people may make the association.
That's not going to happen. Check out "induced demand".
Otherwise as selling dollara for dimes. At least in the last VC bavked iteration of it.
I imagine people felt the same way when cars were popularised, but we‘ll get used to the convenience
This time it's different because we know where it might lead to.
Historically speaking, tech is relatively unregulated and protocols are all over the place. I'd say it's a safe assumption.
