I am not an early adapter of new technology, so I am unlikely to consider using this for at least the next decade.

However,  I can see this as being of great use for transport of time sensitive cargo like medicine or laboratory samples,  and even of general cargo. My greatest concern is  the potential for interference. Vehicle thieves now  exploit the  electronic controls of vehicles to steal them, so I can see someone seizing control of one of these aircraft for fun or for extortion.

Taxis in Phuket ans Samui haven't figured out how to turn on their meters.  How do you think they will respond when they are replaced by pilotless drones.  I think that they will break out the clubs and machetes long before these machines will take to the skies!

Although  Zipline do not carry passengers they do deliver medicines and specimens in Africa by drones. I believe they are starting deliveries in Utah and Arkansas soon. They are a very innovative company that started back in 2011. Many videos on YT.

Crumbs!

I don't' think that idea will take off or land well with the customers!

If they did I would be inclined to have a couple of steak bakes delivered 😋
