I wonder it'd make sense to rent out vehicle drone launchpads for delivery drones to attach to to hitchhike, while recharging. You could imagine a fleet of always-connected private cars uploading their autopilot routes, and a parallel fleet of quadcopters matching *their* routes and picking out optimal carriers.

It included a small, distinct sign to hold up to signal drivers. When you got a ride, you tore off a coupon the driver, and each ticket was ... (drum roll please...) a lottery ticket. So, every lift you gave gave you the driver a non-zero shot at a prize.
