That's where the system problems come in. Cars are part of a cultural system. Millions of them travel roads every day. There are accidents. But people know how to behave in that cultural system, pretty much. UAVs are anomalies in that system. We have wires and poles and signs and plants and all sorts of physical objects in spaces where cars don't go. I guess you could put in some sort of avoidance sensor like aerial rhumbas??? But what is the distinction between a porch roof and the door step? Where is the package going to end up? What is the rule set? The non-road spatial objects are practically infinite.
