I could see this as part of a delivery network. If you need to courier a package from part A to part B of town, have a drone seek out a helipad like this (linked to the GPS of the car's intended destination) to hitch a ride a charge. The car owner gets paid, and a package gets delivered inside an hour!


This is straight out of blade runner 2049.


Hilarious article, give it a read.
