Cars are bigger than drones and will still require more electricity?

If your argument is that you don’t want to see drones everywhere, you realise that you currently see delivery cars everywhere, and due to size, more of them?

What's your point. Besides being pedantic comparing apples with oranges.

And no, I don't see delivery cars everywhere. Only the occasional one out here in the suburbs.

So why do you think you’d see more drones when there would be the same amount of deliveries, now done with smaller delivery vehicles?

I live in the city, I see delivery cars all the time. And it would be great to have those roads for other uses.

Yeah well I don't live in the city. At best I see one delivery driver a day.

That's better than having that shit buzzing over my head all the time.

And I don't mind if people shoot those intrusive things out of the sky, either.
