Calling it now: thieves will use cheap drones of their own to steal your packages with minimal risk to getting caught.


This is hilarious. I can't wait to see drones duking it out over some idiot's burrito


With police drones in pursuit of the thieving drones making off with stolen goods.


Or just shoot down the delivery drones


I'm very sure the drones would have cameras to catch the culprits. You wouldn't want to destroy property owned by a $800B corporation.


The strength of that defense depends on whether the cameras are streaming live feeds to a remote server, or just storing it locally.


A complete camera and RF transmitter is only a few grams in weight and negligible in power draw. (I fly a tinyHawk which is 42g including the drone, camera, RF stuff, flight controller, frame, motors, props AND battery) I can't see them NOT having real-time camera feeds, especially since they have actual pilots in control of them.
