Yes, really. Walmart was demonstrating its delivery drone technology in Clermont, Florida - about twenty-five miles outside of Orlando - and a man allegedly shot the drone out of the sky when it flew near his house. Apparently, he thought it was spying on him.
In 2022, Amazon was estimated to be spending $484 dollars on each drone delivery, and while that price has been estimated to drop to around $63 dollars, that's still almost twenty times more expensive than ground delivery. And if someone shoots down your drone while you're trying to reach your customer, then that's another $2500 or so down the drain.
