- The airport will restrict drones over most of the city... until planes have better collision avoidance. Or drones have transponders that contact the tower; transmit 3D position and have speed limits. Webo could do well, but without line guidance or pothole detection to find safe routes, it might get stuck in the middle of the road... haha. (5)

Areas that already offer these services are usually warmer and have more predictable weather. They're also in more urban spaces.
