You really need to watch that video. The doctors in Rwanda receiving those packages didn't even realize the drone had gone overhead, it was the delivery notification that alerted them.

It's a virtual certainty that autonomous drone traffic (even heavy traffic) is safer than humans behind the wheel of a vehicle. Regional traffic controllers would make crashes extremely unusual.

Hah, I came in here about to ask if that was the origin behind the name. Point against you, I hate bite wings. X-rays are an interesting way of looking at things though.

It would have to be worked out with the FAA, but there are flight levels that could be set aside for drone traffic. The only way drone traffic would work is if it's meshed together. The synchronization is pretty incredible sometimes. Kinda like those big drone swarms they use in place of fireworks sometimes.

Yeah, there's a standard gallon and imperial gallon, and the British pint is larger. And you guys use stone to measure weight still. Eh, I'm cool with being weird together.
