Ok, fully aware that this is a really tiny problem, and does not in any way apply to 99% of people, but my mailbox is ~500' from my front door, and on really rainy days I'd love to have a drone bring my mail back the the house.
For now my 11 and 14 year olds will have to suffice - maybe this tech will be mature by the time the last kid moves out?
-- edit: ok, I skimmed the article too fast and assumed this was a mailbox that WAS a drone, not FOR a drone. Not quite as cool.
- dharmab 6y agoMost people I know in rural areas with this problem drive to their mailboxes in their truck/side-by-side/ATV. If you'd like to create your own solution, refer to https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm to get information on the dimensions and requirements of a compliant mailbox.
- ghaff 6y agoIf it's really bad weather, I'll usually just wait until the next day. There's very little I'm anxiously waiting for. One of my neighbors always ride their ATV down the driveway to get their mail. Like mine, it's long but not that long (~500 ft.). Personally, I find it a good excuse to stretch my legs especially these days.
