Hope they are going to use TCAS otherwise it will be carnage.

Quote from the article

 

"The technology utilises ground-based sensors installed along the highway which provide a real-time view of where drones are in the airspace.

This data is then analysed by a traffic management system - a sort of air traffic control for drones - which guides them along their routes and avoids collisions."

Anyway, I think I will wait until the startup money runs out. Might, or might not work. Who am I to know. I can see how getting drugs to remote locations is a possibility, particularly in bad weather. Not much consequence to failure over remote places, or the sea. 

Mind, as a first class cynic, I hope the Mexican, Colombian, drug cartels don’t think that nicking a load of post office drones is a goer,  with providing a medium calibre machine gun to provide covering fire for the escape with the kit. Breaking bad with a Spektrum tranni.

Reminds me of an old video on YouTube, search ‘Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun!’. I won’t embed it here as there is some mild profanity.
