For some reason, I am laughing extremely hard at this. I was immediately reminded when the Amazon Drone Twitter account posted that you could now drop Nickelback CD's on your enemies.

Potentially cool. It could be an improvement over the semi-annual videos of delivery people throwing packages and such. I just hope no teacup Yorkies get hurt by someone's Wii delivery or something.

I hope this comes to Canada.

I hope the drone will deliver to individual balconies on high-rises.

Will it want to know if I'm a robot?

I think packages will be left at the front door that is rite next to sidewalks where they could get stolen. My post leaves packages at the front door on Sundays instead of using the parcel boxes or leaving a delivery slip in there & a couple packages got stolen because of that. I also think people would try & steal packages from the drones :arrow:
