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.

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.
