I admittedly haven't been that close to one but we do trust or are seriously considering trusting software to control heavy machinery like cars. Is is truly so out of the question that we might be able to make them safe enough for that? It might require more advanced designs, far better tested and well regulated software but being able to get that close to a drone would enable a lot more use cases for them. I think many people are going to invest quite a lot of money into making this possible, so I think we're going to see something like this eventually, even if it takes decades.
