Florida residents recently responded to Walmart starting delivery via drone:

Reactions to the drones added at the Walmart Supercenter in Apopka have been mixed, with some residents like Brittany Nilsen saying she’d “absolutely” use the service for the sake of “convenience.”…

Some likened the noise to a police siren or fire truck but said they’d become accustomed to it.

In addition to the noise, other locals said they were worried about privacy and safety…

After arrival, the drone hovers about 20 feet above the drop zone and lowers the order down via the tether, with the drone itself never landing on a Walmart customer’s yard.

Imagine the air at roughly building height or tree top level with a steady stream of drones delivering packages from different suppliers. There would be noise. They would be part of the view when looking into the sky or looking into the distance.

But I was reminded this week of the ways that we now just accept delivery trucks all over the place. The trucks stop in roadways with their flashers on while the driver goes to the door to complete the delivery. They stop on narrow roads and busy roads. They add to traffic.

The benefit of both is that people get their desired objects without having to go to a store. The delivery comes directly to them. This modern convenience is expected and people will sacrifice for it to happen. Americans like driving and they are willing to put up with traffic and stopped vehicles to get their packages. Whatever downsides come with drones could be outweighed by packages coming via the sky.
