Great question. I believe the civilian applications are unlimited. Delivery services -- pizza, KFC, burgers, pharmacies, grocery & liquor stores. Drones are first aid medical responders in Holland and more apps are on the way. They can be wonderful and provide a better quality of life, but less private. This means a lot of menial jobs will go away -- but new ones are created. Meanwhile,
Military applications -- drones are easily weaponized by experts and amateurs. There would have to be some form of hard wiring self destruct code built in to these things with certain parameters. These issues are very concerning to me.
