Public perception remains a crucial factor influencing the adoption of drone delivery services. The discussion on drone delivery on Reddit shows that the public is concerned about the technology. While drones offer new possibilities in logistics, they also raise questions about their effectiveness, safety, environmental impact, and privacy. The most controversial issues are related to legal regulations, liability for accidents, and the potential impact on people‘s daily lives. The key to the future of this technology will be developing clear rules and mechanisms that will allow for its safe and effective implementation.
