“A lot of them are flying VLOS. And what they’re doing is they have safetyspotters at the launch site and at the landing site, everywhere they go. So they’re stopping people on the side-walks, they’re stopping cars, they’re making sure it’s safe to deliver, but  you can’t just remove the safety  spotters and have drones dropping  in small spaces where a child could  knock the drone out of the sky with a football. That’s what I’m talking  about. How is that business model  really going to work?”
