    Nods. Up to the point where it starts to affect jobs. Then we'll see some resistance.

    not likely unless there is regulation on it. Can't have drones flying all over the place causing problems.

    I wouldn't call the timeline soon either. I also am not sure it would be better than using regular couriers. Well, if someone wants to pay extra to get it right away then sure... though that exists already for regular couriers.

    The FAA is in the process of creating the rules for flying robots, according to the article.

    And the "soon" they refer to is 2015, at the earliest.

    So what would the drone do if someone is not at home? Just leave it?

    It's supposed to deliver within 30 mins of you placing your order, to the GPS location you specify. If you set it to deliver to your home and you not there, nuh your problem dat? lol
