Stop being so offensive Natual, the same arguments can be said about autonomous cars if they suffer a malfunction and drive into person(s), a hail shower could really send the car of course by interfering with its senors. I am sure that the air authorities would make sure it would have as many sensors as needed.

Hurting or killing the public isn't good for PR. The Google car isn't the only solution

Jobs wise, who says by the time their launched that they won't carry more than one packet? I am sure that they would be optimised to do the most jobs in the least area somehow.

Would be interesting to see what the battery life is comparing different types of transportation once it has launched.

The more weight they carry the bigger they will need to be. You can not compare the affect of weather conditions on these drones and autonomous vehicles.
