Discussion Ask HN: Whatever happened to the “coming wave” of delivery drones? I feel like a few years ago all the rage was that Amazon and other retailers were going to deliver things via drones, straight to your doorstepFood delivery companies as well seemed to be testing out robots that would bring your food to you albeit in a more sidewalk bound wayIts been a few years and I have yet to have a single thing drone delivered to my houseWhat happened to that alternate future? Are companies still working on it? Or did we move on from that idea for some reasons we discovered? 157 points cgb223 3 years ago 219 comments
