#3Little after 10am, pure speculation but wonder if the angle of the sun overwhelmed the dynamic range of the image sensor over a particularly inopportune area of the frame. Guessing no LiDAR on drones like this.

don't worry you'll get it back when it's restocked (returned items)
my buddy bought these electric tooth brushes recently and the tips were missing inside ha, someone took them out and returned em

#6I didn't even know they were using delivery drones yet. Why did they both crash, were they working in tandem carrying one payload or something?

#9There were plenty of proposals back in 2021 about having highways in the sky for drone delivery operations, at least in Canada, so such incidents are avoided, as relying on technology alone isn't enough and the risk plans are only to mitigate rather than eliminate the risks.
That being said, drone delivery will not really become a thing unless the endurance issue is resolved, like a new breakthrough battery technology that gives you at least 4 hours flight time (hybrid drones are noisy), as for any drone to have a proper impact, it should have three items checked: endurance, payload, and range. The last two are pretty much resolved by having modular payloads and flying over the internet, the first one is still pending.

I was thinking maybe they used the same route planning system, so their routes were identical.
