The future of DronesLet me describe what the near future will look like. Drones will perpetually move back and forth from rural distribution facilities to inner-city delivery hubs, some weighing a few pounds and others a few tons. Every day they will deliver our weekly groceries, last-minute gifts, and critical medications. In autonomous airborne Ubers, drones may even pick us up from work (or the bar) and transport us home. They will change how we live. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of drones will soar above cities and towns instead of using the clogged streets and roads that are currently choked with traffic.
