Airships are mostly disappointing. High drag, so they get thrown around by the wind - and leaks are a constant problem.

While a drone can navigate flying in a busy street with all kinds of overhead wires, the huge size required for an airship would prevent many usage cases - the thing would simply get entangled in wires. Airships are the best solution if you need something to stay in a specific area/position for longer times... something like an emergency cellphone/wifi BTS after major disaster strikes, but for moving around? Not really.
