Google Wing will deliver to about 100 homes in Canberra

Noise is already solved in the one they're using in the commercial service, per the article. Politics also were cleared, as the aviation authority there gave them permission. So yes, financial feasibility remains.

Ignoring the noise, politics, and financial feasibility of this, we sure are living in the damn future.

I personally expect that the first successful drone delivery service will be implemented by some sophisticated drug dealers because unlike with all these drone delivery services, they would need to be quiet and reliably deliver products instead of publicity.

I don't believe noise is solved until I see a video of it.
