Ever wonder what it would be like to have groceries delivered to your door in minutes? To hover around the city with ease, or experience an entirely new reality without leaving the comfort of your couch? This week's episode is all about drones, automated delivery, and the future of transportation. Ben and Greg talk tech, touching on concepts from hover-boards to virtual reality headsets to headway on the fronts of drone delivery and transportation.

While we may see drones today simply as vehicles for our GoPro cameras, or a far-off future fantasy, these clever little bots may be closer to becoming pieces of day-to-day technology than ever before. Greg and Ben discuss the market and brand potential of drone delivery, as well as the evolution of the online customer, highlighting the current competition between two major contenders in the drone market. This podcast also explores other possibilities for drones in the future outside delivery, and what they would mean for the commercial and entertainment markets.
