Drones at 400 feet are quieter than many cars. If you can’t bear the noise of a drone delivering to your house, do you complain at the noise of an actual diesel truck idling on your street?
- Forge36 7y agoYes? People don't drive a diesel truck outside my house. At least bit that I've commonly noticed (people moving in is an exception). Not packages: I see those dropped off every day.
- journalctl 7y ago“Quieter than a car” is damning with faint praise. Maybe that’s fine somewhere super busy, but I’d personally rather not have noise from cars OR drones.
- ccozan 7y agoThen the only option would be delivery by ground based robo-trucks ( in all sizes ). I think there are a few who are in this business, at least controlling them from distance.
- ent 7y agoIf you're in a place with no noise from cars, you're most probably well outside the range of multiprop drones.
- georgebarnett 7y agoI do; I live in the city centre with my apartment facing a back alley. Delivery trucks are often in the back lane left idling with radios blaring. Its one of the reasons I'm moving house.
- bamboozled 7y agoI think there are definitely regulations which prevent large noisy trucks from driving around suburban areas. This started happening in my Neighbourhood when some truckers worked out there was a short cut to get to the port, they started screaming down our street at all hours of the night, the law had to put a stop to it.
- rsynnott 7y agoPresumably they’ll descend at some point, though.
- onion2k 7y agoI moved to a quieter street for that exact reason.
