So as I read this comment at my favorite coffee place, a UPS truck is blocking 2 parking spaces. It's been parked there about 5 minutes, and several cars stopped, thinking it was leaving soon, messing up traffic on the road before driving away because it was taking too long. That's lost business and serious inconvenience for other people. As I type this the guy has left, but the package he took in was small enough for a drone to deliver. Now a different truck has pulled up and double parked across the road, with the driver taking a document tube into the office building across the street. I wish this example was contrived, but I just watched it happen. Several drivers were inconvenienced (an ongoing situation at the moment, and I've had to listen to the sound of the idling engines, which are definitely louder than the cars passing by. Drones on the other hand would have zipped in and out, without disrupting the traffic or making me listen to idling truck engines for several minutes in a row. It's not only about just-in-time delivery for ME, it also reduces a bunch of secondary hassles.
