Anecdotally, I never got into drones because of the batteries. Everyone I met that had them absolutely loved them, but had like 4 batteries they needed to keep charged for about 15 minutes of flight time.

And quite a few tried pushing that a little too long an ended up with crashed drones. So my half cent is that batteries need to get better before people like me even consider them. Mentioned 0 times in that article.

Alternatively, drones need to get efficient enough to be solar powered, which is maybe the intent behind the acquisitions by PrecisionHawk Inc.
