"According to the patent, the drones would be able to track the location of the person it is delivering to by pulling data from their smartphone."


Just imagine a late scheduled delivery dropping into your work schedule, - possibly whilst driving a HST at 200k, a HGV, or to a bus driver?


Supposing your property is on a a delivery route from the Amazon Hub? Continuous drone traffic at 200' above your garden?

Do you think that this will fly?


However it looks as though DHL are already doing it!

No, I think people would become heartily sick of the intrusion and noise. Plus the huge numbers (relatively) that drop out of the sky owing to component failure, causing damage. And the crashes.

Socially unacceptable.

...I thought this was going to be a reference to Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May's dulcet tones appearing on Prime.
