How is the delivery drone going to navigate around my wire antennas strung between the trees?
Even when you know where they are, they're hard to see unless the sun hits them just right.
I suspect that would be your responsibility to either clear the area or not use the service. I can see the service having some useful niche case uses. Mainly if you need something light on short notice.
Or you'd have to 3D map your own local environment and keep it updated so the drones know where obstacles are when entering your property's airspace
I would be fine with that. Looks like a big use case they want this service for is their pharmacy side. Get your teledoctors appointment via their app and the meds delivered via drone within the hour.
