> raises the question of whether they can see cables

Should the drone's vision be comparable to a humans though? I feel like drones can either see or don't. If we go and try to tackle every corner case then nothing would come of it.

Also, do I - as a citizen - have to bear the externalities of Amazon's beta testing?

Walk to the store to get your package.



Newer DJI drones can see cable down to 4mm using LIDAR and other methods. So yeah, Amazon has some catching up to do.


Humans can’t really see cables when flying either. Drones need to be better.
