If you think about the size of the home delivery business, it has to be in the trillions of dollars    |

If camera tech keeps appearing everywhere it may be difficult to get a decent injury lawsuit. At least a fraudulent one. Even when they aren’t installed on buildings, people, cars, are carrying them. ATMs, traffic cams etc., "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Way too soon, there aren't enough of them yet. When I saw the pic my very first thought was just one more thing for people staring at their phones to trip over. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Of course. You wouldn't want the liability of dropping a 40 lb piece of apparatus randomly from hundreds of feet in the air. You could kill someone. |

Drones are already flying medicine and other emergency supplies on a regular basis in remote areas where ground transportation is a problem. Not sure if they have parachutes or not. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

If I'm going to die soon, hope I get to be the first one who dies from a dropped drone delivery. Make a name for myself in trivia games everywhere. "He was killed by a 40lb package of baby diapers". "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

I hate to quote movies for my facts, but Terminator Dark Fate had a military grade Hummer equipped with a parachute. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
