You also have a lot more obvious benefits to having cars be commonly available. Pretty much no one I know with a drone is using it for anything more than a novelty. It's not to say there aren't valid uses for a drone, but there seems to be less urgency to make sure everyone can have a drone when the downside seems right there.
- ggreer 6y agoDrones are used only for hobby/novelty purposes because the FAA effectively bans everything else. Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and others would love to do drone delivery, but they can’t get regulatory approval. Instead, they have to send trucks through neighborhoods at high speeds. These vehicles inevitably injure and kill some pedestrians. They also create significant amounts of pollution. Drones are held to a higher standard than any other vehicle I'm aware of. This ends up causing more harm than it prevents.
