How far are we from urban drone delivery being the norm?

I believe we are getting there however i believe we are still several years away.

Oh I would say 5 years and not much more. There is already so much happening, it's just a matter of getting the costs down in manufacturing them and having enough resources to troubleshoot and manage. If a company has the resources it ends up being cost efficient, but there's a huge barrier to entry on that.

Not very soon. I think it will take a couple more years. But for sure it will happen int he future.

I can totally see it happening five years from now. But I don't think I'm ready for how it will affect delivery workers.

I think Amazon's already preparing to debut their drone deliver service. They said it will be ready in 2024 and could be making regular deliveries after a decade.

I'm thinking 5 to 10 years from now. But I don't know, I could be wrong. With today's technology, everything is possible.

They have been talking about this since 2020. But I don't think we are somewhere near. Give it at least 10-15 years.

It is very possible to happen anytime soon. You know how advanced our technology is. I'd say 5-10 more years.

I have accepted an offer for the role of Director of Data Science & Analytics and I'll be working with old colleagues. I am very excited. I haven't given notice yet because I am waiting for the background check to complete, but my boss just asked me about traveling to a meeting in November. I start at the new job Oct 25. I'm really struggling for how to respond. If I were not leaving it is absolutely a meeting I should be at. I don't want to respond with a lie. Any dvice on how to respond?
