Drone Deliveries Are NEVER Going To Happen Here’s Why

Drone deliveries are constantly presented as “the future” — but are they actually practical? In this video I break down the real-world problems facing mass BVLOS drone delivery including cost, weather, infrastructure, regulation, public acceptance and logistics. I also look at where drones may genuinely transform society instead: rescue operations, medical supply delivery and emergency response.
