It's not that simple. There are a lot of people living in apartments - how's it going to work for them?
And where exactly would you place the indicator? In your front yard? Normally, delivieries are made to your porch, but the drone would have difficulty finding an optical indicator on the porch from above.
And what about groceries that need to be refrigerated? Those will need to be dealt with specially.
- aero142 14y agoOh noes, now I only have a business that delivers groceries to people with lawns. What a tiny niche business:) Seriously though, those are really lame problems. If I could sign up for a service that uses a geofence to find out when I get home and then f-ing airlifts milk to the dead center of my front lawn, I would buy so much milk.
- shasta 14y agoRight, refrigeration is one of the big practical problems with UAV grocery delivery... In the foreseeable future, I think you'd have better luck delivering groceries by catapult than by UAV.
