Manna ceasing drone delivery flights

It was never going to take off..

Your comment is a shameful gross misrepresentation of a company which raised €100M including investors like the ISIF. Your post comes across like old fashioned begrudgery. Manna has a bright future in more enlightened jurisdictions that dont allow nimbyism to trump national policy objectives

In fairness their business model was always going to depend on delivery of something more high value than coffee

would you have any connections to them…..?

Nothing to do with begrudgery, we've had years of tech bros and their inventions and apps for everything all propped up by venture capitalists, self appointed masters of the universe and cheap interest.

Luckily this era is coming to an end, and every bright idea dreamt up by a founder on a bean bag isn't treated like they've just split the atom.

Basically the Elon Musk code of practice. Oversell, get investment, try to circumvent the rules every way possible, bitch about it when you're pulled up.

It needs to be democratized.

So, drones must fly over everyone's house, especially the people who are making money off it, and over TDs and Minister's houses.

If I order a latte I should be able to pay a little bit extra to get it to fly over someone else's house. Or just pay for a drone to hover over someone's house for a while. I meant they are harmless and quiet - what's the problem ?

These constantly fly over my house in Cork. You could easily have ten of them an hour flying over your garden. They are beyond annoying, especially if you want to sit ououtside. They iinterupt conversation. They break your concentration if you are trying to read. They drive dogs nuts. They drive me nuts. And, if allowed to continue, they will become a literal constant presence above our heads.

As a society, we don't need this. Certainly not for something as frivolous as fast food or coffee. Go out and get it yourself or, failing that, there's lads on bikes that will deliver for a similar fee to these god-awful things.

id say drug delivery in blanch could of been a winning business 😅

Manna-rail?

For sure a completely uncesserary service, and dubious business tactics. It won't be missed.

Can't say it bothered me that much. Seems to have bothered people who never heard it more.

Be an awful shame if someone was practising with a hurl out their back garden and the drone flew into a ball etc… Would Manna be on the hook for damaging a sliotar?

Thank Christ!

The sky should really be seen as sacred. Imagine a future where you look up and it's not only full of drones delivering things but there are also static drones displaying advertisements.
