Amazon has made its first drone delivery to an act...
I see the test flight conveniently took place over farmland. What happens when one of these has a mid-flight failure and hits someone over the head?

They probably get a bonk on the head and checked for a concussion. Better then being hit by a delivery truck I suppose.

Sounds like a best-case scenario, those drones fly pretty high and are very heavy. Sounds more likely that it would be a fatality.

A fatality involving one person rather than two drivers, more than two drivers, one driver and a pedestrian, one driver and multiple pedestrians....

An insurance claim and/or lawsuit, no different than a delivery driver or truck "failure" and resulting traffic accident.

What happens when a drone fleet like this gets hacked?
