Now that we have the prospect of robots routinely utilising the airspace directly overhead, expect all kinds of new and surprising implications. Our cities have been designed pretty much on the basis that the third dimension was mostly unavailable. Opening up this degree of freedom will be a boon for many applications. It will remain however a finite resource with all kinds of constraints on it which will by necessity need to be strictly regulated. Naturally some places will manage this easily while others will become a hellscape of delivery, advertising and surveillance drones.
