“In my world,” Schlake said, “the drone of the future is the pickup drone.” He predicts that delivery drones will launch not from a warehouse or retail store but from the homes of consumers.
He sees a future where homeowners can purchase a drone dock for their home and retailers can purchase corresponding docks for their stores, allowing customers to send their personal drones to stores nearby, pick up their items and return home.
Schlake pointed out that most everyone lives within a mile or two of a c-store, and sending a home-docked drone to a nearby c-store and back could take as little as 2 minutes.
