Why did We Hear 5 Years Ago That Online Orders Would Be Delivered By Drone, And This Is Nowhere Near Happening Yet?
In: Economics
Drone deliveries are happening in Africa (for emergency medical stuff). The company tried to bring it to the US, they have a test program going on in NC or SC (I don’t remember which.)
The problem they are having is that in Africa, every plane is tracked no matter the size, so the computer on the drone can avoid them. In the USA, the FAA is unable to force small plane owners to instal tracking systems.
The company’s test program in the Carolinas, they were force to higher ground spotters who’s job is to track small planes and report their positions to help keep the drones from colliding into them.
