Future concept but not anytime soon. All kinds of flight rules and laws to overcome. AND LOL at one of these landing on the doorstep of people's homes, no doubt about it people will steal them. Forget about the first time one of these malfunctions and lands on someones head etc..

It's a neat concept and probably the future but this is a LONG way from happening.

Imagine that that's basically what the article said. Long way is a relative term referring to technology especially.

Slightly off topic, have you seen any videos of those octo copters playing catch with a stick and balancing it vertically as they pass it back and forth. Pretty amazing.

Rings a bell. Post it.

This in particular opens up a shit storm though. Once something like this happens, commercial drones and even homemade civilian droves will be fucking everywhere. Imagine driving or walking around and having drones all over the fucking sky, each one of them with camera's and listening devices.. I am all for technology but god damn it's getting a bit scary. Privacy will be out the window, pretty much already is..

Not to mention all the UPS/fedex/usps drivers who would be out of a job. I realize I sound like an old person scared of the future but sometimes the change will be so drastic that you can't help but be a little scared.

Yes. The issues surrounding drones is already a very hot topic.

All the time, money, and effort that goes into making such a technology and these fucks do a demonstration video in a bathroom with bedsheets. :retard:

You dim wit. Its a padded floor in case of crash and white background so you can see the copters and the pole.

Getting around the FAA and many other obstacles is going to be a tough feat to make this a reality.
