I recently pitched a idea to my boss, and you know what- it was not even considered.
The idea was simple. Drones around the outside of a house will be numerous and ubiqitous. Cleaning windows, painting, repairing, cleaning roofs, solarpanels, replacing cameras and sensors.. etc.
These drones, will then discover that infrastructure (rails, anchor points) for these drones is needed- on each house, and that even some overlap for drones exist- aka, one drone, several tools is the most wise approach.
These drones need energy, water and internet.
To be the first to define a standard for such a outside maintenance drone, and convince house building companys to roll it out, together with you, seems like a rather conservative bet.
This bet was openly laughed about in my presence in my company. The same laugh, people would have had about the suggestion of a google, a amazon, a anything in my country, ten years ago.
Nobody laughs about that in the valley. They know how quick things can change and scale.
- matchbok 7y agoMaybe because that's a bad idea. Unpopular != future Amazon. Sorry.
- DayDollar 7y agoTo define a electric standard, before a society is electrified and set the wheels in motion for others to adhere to it - is a bad idea? It always needs to be a Edison vs Tesla war, before things are settled?
