"Hey, grab your drone. I have a great idea for a photo. I will go out in the snow, naked with only boots on, lay down, close my eyes, act like an angel and then you fly over and take some pictures."

Sometimes, I can't help but think how the conversations go for some of these pictures. I know, completely over thinking it.

Most likely
I'll give you a hundred dollars to lay in the snow so I can get a picture of you in the snow. You don't even have to share your goodies. The last girl got 40 thousand clicks. I bet you can do better than that.

Believe it or not, I actually drove one just like it, having worked at a Fedex Ground processing center for about a year. It was a 3-wheel electric model (not propane). One had to be extremely careful with it when entering / exiting the trucks and loading unloading stacked pallets from them. I drove that as well as the "Tug" haulers that went between different stations, picking up and dropping off parcels. Eventually, I also got trained and certified in how to drive the tractor cabs for the half semi-trailers. You did not need a CDL to drive them anywhere "inside" the Fedex private property. You just couldn't drive them "off" the property at any time. Not that they needed to be. The "line" drivers took care of that (the ones that had the CDLs). But you would shuttle the full/empty half trailers between open loading ports in the building and the parking area for them. I would have loved to stay on that job if they had just paid a bit more money. And it was a great job for a young kid starting out and learning how to go to work every day. But not so much for someone who had to "earn a living" and feed a family on that income alone.

That said, and in the spirit of "Men and Boys and the cost of their toys," if I ever do hit the Zillion dollar lottery, I have fantasized about buying one just like I used at Fedex. I'd even build a small warehouse building on my 10 acre plot where I'd store various things that required its use.

Love my 6K capacity Toy. Small and agile, but with plenty of lifting power. I bought her at about 1000 hours used, but had them freshen up the paint before delivery. Also, never going back to electric. Dual fuel is awesome.

It looks all high tech but it's not really out of reach for almost any decently funded military.
I suspect other militaries will have this going in a big way before the USA even does.

Then eventually somebody gets the bright idea of why do we need meatbags controlling these things?
Let's go proper total war and just tell the drones to go autonomous blow up anything organic looking smaller than a cow or bigger than a cat and anything that looks like a vehicle or structure and anything that has an EM spectrum...

Then destruction and battles will happen on a scale so fast and widespread that humans won't be able to be the ones in control anymore.

all weapon systems have a counter. A cheap low tech solution to flying drones are physical nets set up above bases. Another solution is to close doors behind you. Higher tech options are close proximity EMPs. There’s also political counters: I think drone warfare will get sanctioned in our lifetime.
