The Royal Mail drone scheme to the Western Isles of Scotland is much needed. Currently we depend on Loganair and other chartered flights to carry mail to remote islands in Scotland.
This will enable deliveries more frequently and less dependant on the human factor, although weather will still be a limiting one.
As a developer living on a remote island currently, its been amazing to see technology even as ubiquitous as 4G help fish farms, wind turbines and other communications work much better.
- callamdelaney 4y agoWhat if a drone crashes into the sea and loses all your mail, and say it was important?
- jackdh 4y agoLikely the same as currently established means of delivery. Insurance.
- IshKebab 4y agoThen the mail is in the sea.
- neilalexander 4y agoThe same thing that happens if a Loganair plane crashes into the sea.
- callamdelaney 4y agoSignificantly less likely than a drone.
- BurningFrog 4y agoFloating waterproof delivery drones should be fairly simple to design, so I assume they already exist?
- pjc50 4y agoStill a better delivery service than Hermes.
