On the other hand, a drone can safely land in a fenced-in backyard and deliver a package without needing to leave it at the front door for the entire world to snatch. This reduces the problem of drone and package theft.
If drone delivery does become ubiquitous, I'd imagine some kind of drone rooftop helipad with a package shoot into the house/apartment would quickly become standardized ... or something along those lines.

- mtberatwork 10y agoYes, provided the thief is aware a package exists and has a drone of similar capabilities ... this is why I used the term reduces. But with ubiquitous drone delivery, I'm sure we'd have some sort of ubiquitous delivery storage unit.
