On: Amazon’s delivery drones are grounded in College Station, Texas

> How many of these people getting toothpaste or whatever delivered by electrically powered drone would alternatively be firing up their dinosaur-powered F-150 to drive to the local supermarket instead?

Why do you want to solve the last symptom in the long chain of failure upon failure, by adding on more atrocity in the mix ?

If I want toothpaste I walk 250 meters to my closest shop and buy some damn toothpaste

Fixing that "long chain" requires rebuilding a majority of American cities, and relocating a large portion of American citizens.

Sure, maybe it can be done incrementally. But it isn't being done very quickly or well, even in Seattle where I know folks are trying.

Does solving those systemic, political, societal and human issues seem easier than building a quiet drone?
