Drones 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.
