Stanford lab envisions delivery drones that save energy by taking the bus
A commercial delivery drone carrying a six pound package landing on top of a bus between tall buildings is going to make a ridiculous discordant growl.  Six of them coming and going within a quarter mile at any given time are going to sound like an auto-tuned pack of hounds from hell.<p>(This of course is ignoring what happens if something fucks up and suddenly it has 1/8th of a second to decide to fly out of it or brake those giant swinging carbon fiber blades before they encounter human flesh.  It's like a trolley problem on a trolley.).<p>No way. (IMHO of course)<p>(e.g<p>Video of a Matrice 600 with a payload of ~8lbs  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jayVMmvLxOA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jayVMmvLxOA</a><p>Even better, 25 lbs from 60' up lol  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jULQrdUTngM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jULQrdUTngM</a><p>)
