This was a free advertising bonanza for “Cyber Monday”.
I think I’ve seen the vid clip a dozen times today already.

I doubt it.
I suspect between govt and commercial applications, these will be filling the sky like sparrows.

Now how does one know when they arrive. Do they Dive Bomb into your house? Do they knock the door? Do they honk or ring a bell upon arrival?

It will send you a text message or phone call. Very easy to accomplish.

You beat me to it :) I’m thinking that drone hunting may become so popular in some states (guess which they might be) that a drone stamp will have to be purchased along with one’s hunting license, same as duck and turkey stamps. I’ve hunted sandhill crane and it takes #2 buck shot to bring them down. I would think #2 would be about right for these drones. Can’t wait, lol !
