That looks super cool to me. As long as there is some kind of ceiling where
you can't fly over 50? 100? feet high, I don't see how these are anymore dangerous than what vehicular traffic is today. If somebody lost it in one of those and landed on your roof, I don't think it would break through the rafters. Of course, if it landed on you sitting on your patio, you would have problems, but you can be hit by a car walking down the street too.
Maybe they could be restricted to rural areas at first, and let technology catch up to safety concerns.
