- marvin 13y agoThere is way too much skepticism in this thread. The sky is huge. If you've ever flown an aircraft in VFR conditions, you've seen that there is plenty of space and you would not need a very complex system to ensure separation. Drone flights could be reserved to areas close to the ground (where manned flight is prohibited) and all drones could be equipped with dually-redundant parachutes to bring them down safely in the event of a failure. This is just a quick-and-dirty suggestion; put in some effort and you'll get even better results. This is the future, the limiting factory is battery tech and aerodynamic drone design (which is a key problem with quadcopters - they are incredibly inefficient; you need wings during level flight for efficient operation).
