I dont like the idea full stop. The last thing we need is for drones to start hitting windows, being hacked, crashing into each other etc.

If it was only used to transport organ to hospitals in a hurry then yeah ok.

And dont get me started on driverless cars...

I do like these ideas being a techy, but i dont think letting every man and his dog to set up a drone courier is a good idea. And before anyone says that not whats happening here just needs to look back at history.

Sorry, did you just refer to Amazon, the world's largest retailer, as "every man and his dog??

And I took a look back at history for drone couriers crashing into each other but came up empty, maybe you could link to your reference. 

Funny tho, remove the word drone and search again..... 

Not very safe these vans are they.

No, im referring to the fact that over time "every man and his dog" ie ukmail etc will have drones.

As for history, again im referring all the small rubbish courier companies that offer terrible service and treat your items like crap.

I wonder if they'll have different kinds of drones, or ones that you can buy to use and personalise.

Maybe getting ahead of myself

I doubt that will happen if it's attached to a £15,000 UAV
