I know that drones are a hobby for most of us here but how many of you would be interested in getting paid to legally and safely fly your drone? You would need a commercial license of course. You would be provided with a set of waypoints and the time and date for the flight. You just need to go to a safe take off point near the waypoints, put your drone in the sky and then execute the waypoints via an app. The rest would be automatic. Think of it as Uber for drones. A company called Orbital is interested in doing this it sounds like (reading between the lines a bit) in order to track the operation of businesses and commodities for investment research purposes.

I would do that.  It is going to happen one way or another.  Why not get paid to do something I enjoy doing?
