I am sitting out on my back deck and a delivery drone flew over the neighbor behind me, landed, and took off again. It was quite large and clearly left without the payload it was carrying. What was most surprising is that it was basically a vtol - it had wings and flew like a plane till it started hovering. That was a first for me.

brings back memories of jokes about the bandwidth of a station wagon loaded up with 9 track tapes...

Oh, wait.

It used to be the case that we recognized that low altitude flight over heavily populated areas required a lot of careful government scrutiny for safety reasons.
