I would predict the issue of interference from third party ground lifeforms to be the largest obstacle to over come. Heck, even a kid with a slingshot could do a lot of damage.
- gruez 5y agoWindows seem to do fine, despite being equally being vulnerable to slingshots and being sitting ducks.
- bigyikes 5y agoWindows aren’t despised, though (I love drones)

Playing a game amongst friends with slingshots (or other drone-incapacitaing devices) where the one to disable the drone gets to keep the delivery. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a game played amongst friends.
- sleepybrett 5y agoI was out flying with some friends in a spot on an abandoned golf course. Being super respectful of the houses around the edges, flying pretty much in the middle of the course. Some dumbass decided our drones were good skeet targets. The police were very unkind to him and slightly peeved with us... it was a number of years ago.

- protomyth 5y agoAt some point, the local Corvidaes (e.g. crow, raven) will figure out that some drones are carrying food.

- protomyth 5y agoIf they do start allowing drones to do deliveries in cities. Please, please, someone get a grant to study if the bird start attacking any particularly colored drones or drones that originate in certain places. I really want to know if the Walmart (probably carrying food and other supplies) gets attacked as much as say a GrubHub drone.
