The issue is you're not allowed to fly anywhere near airports or military bases. So that creates a lot of problems for this kind of program.

DC has a big no-fly zone. And for good reason.

That and the 5lb weight limit, battery recharging and the fact that you have to have a drone operator watching it the whole time.

They shouldn't be allowed anywhere. I myself am a Robotics researcher, You would not enjoy hundreds of those loud drones buzzing over your head. They are dangerous, and other problems like privacy issues, surveillance misuse, our comfort and trust long list.
These AI companies manipulate our acceptance of technology, They have been and they will always do the same
