Can't help thinking that having lots of drones flying around ski slopes/ski lifts isn't a good thing though.

I did frown at the 'easy landing' (0:31) though

Although - give it another 5 years and this quality of drone will be £100; at which point, ill buy one

You just know someone is going to badly hurt or killed by one of these remote control toys and all this will stop due to massive legal costs.
My guess is about 80% of the people that buy these toys have no clue at all about the existing legislation about flying these toys in public spaces, the fines for breaking the law are huge - a guy flew his toy over a nuclear powerstation and is now facing a huge fine ( I think it was 50K) and he had no idea that these laws even existed.
I read companies like Amazon want to provide a service where these toys will deliver goods to you where ever you are, so imagine walking down a busy highstreet with these toys buzzing around trying to land to deliver to someone standing still with their phone out tracking the delivery as people are walking along going about their business. Is the person who is waiting for the thing to land going to have to clear people away and make a space for it to land? I can imagine people getting cut up by plastic rotors as they refuse to clear the area and wait for the person to pick up their goods. It will never work out!

Drones are fricking dangerous concepts. Just like flying cars, they won't get any useful mass adoption, because people can't be trusted.
