Why does the drone have to be wheeled out on tracks so far away from the shop for takeoff? It looks like this center may have been used for early testing where they were less confident in the drone's ability to takeoff

Also, it's interesting that they rely on fiducials placed on the ground to track the drop off point. I'd expect them to be using GPS + vision to figure out a dropoff point. Humans are really good at that, you'd think some algorithm would be good enough for 99% of the cases and save the customer time (with fiducials as a decent fallback for tricky buildings/houses)
