Reply to comment by Commercial-9751 in Zipline’s new drones release tethered mini-drones for precision package deliveries - These drone deliveries drop down from up to 300 feet high in a tethered ‘droid’ with its own propellers to target small landing zones like a table. by speckz

I suspect you need to 3d scan the surroundings and approve the place its gonna land. Consumers might even be made liable in case something was in the way.

This is WAY better than having a full sized drone trying to land.

But yeah, it might need some emergency release mechanism if it does get tangled. You don't want anyone be able to take down the big drone.
