The current cost of delivering one package by drone is $13.50 due to outdated government regulations

The costs are clearly too high! 

When will we hear the sky buzzing with home delivery drones (just kidding)? 😊 Can you imagine how much street traffic this would reduce or how the entire logistics of the retail sector will be affected?

"The cost of delivering one package by drone, versus $1.90 by a delivery van carrying 100 orders, according to consulting firm McKinsey. Part of the problem is federal regulations requiring a drone to stay within sight of a human employee, logistics experts say. The cost would drop to $1.80 a package if a worker were allowed to monitor 20 drones at once, according to McKinsey. Regulators have granted several companies permission to fly beyond the visual line of sight."
