No thank you. We don't want air pollution and surveillance disguised as "delivery drones."

  Air pollution? You do realise most drones are electric right?

    I think they mean pollution as in visual mess, like space debris.

    Noise pollution, for example.

  I'm looking forward to it. It feels like we're living in the Jetsons. Finally.

    All that's missing is EVs and drones making a mandatory, Doppler-influenced, uniform burble sound as the motors run. Sort of like the somewhat-mandated "shutter click" sound for digital cameras.

      EVs generally do, at low speeds. I believe it’s legally mandated in the US as of a few years ago.

  Sorry to burst your bubble, but the ship on autonomous aerial surveillance has long since sailed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconnaissance_Office#Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconnaissance_Office... > In 2012 the agency donated two space telescopes to NASA. Despite being stored unused, the instruments are superior to the Hubble Space Telescope. One journalist observed, "If telescopes of this caliber are languishing on shelves, imagine what they're actually using."
