Overview

While military and official government and scientific uses of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are well known and heavily covered, the implications of drone technology for commerce of all kinds is also being recognized and planned for. This book explores both the near-term and longer-term imagined uses for drones in e-commerce shipping, logistics, and delivery mechanisms, mining, agriculture, and a slew of other industries. Readers will surely find the big picture of the development of drones into integral parts of the economy, along with specific examples, to be endlessly fascinating.
