I like your imagined scenario very much! It can be, essentially, a "helipad" designed for a drone landing and a "chute" to an interior staging area for sorting and whatnot. That post office letter drop box is a really functional and cool example.
As you pointed out, there are numerous avenues for customer support (putting the package in the garage without explicit instruction) that can be hashed out in the agreement between commercial customer and the delivery platform. It also could help with building a relationship and sharing liability in some ways.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoIn a commercial setting, the box could be on a roof with a chute to the mail room. No reason for it to be exposed in public that way.
- 6stringmerc 11y agoYeah that's kind of what I meant, sorry if not clear. What I meant by liability is that if the product delivery has a hiccup, it's sort of a shared understanding that the system should work 90%+ of the time, but when it doesn't, well, it happens.
- gexla 11y agoGood news Edna, your new walker just arrived. The bad news is that there was a mix-up with the delivery instructions and you have to climb up to the roof to get it. Sorry, we can't send someone out because we don't employ people. You are talking to a machine right now. The best we can do is have you put an order in to ship yourself to the roof of your house. We can then send our xl-drone to deliver you up there.
