I don't see how it would create more happiness. The "oh look, a drone" reaction would lay off pretty soon. But, perhaps it can save some energy and lessen the use of fossil fuels.

Also, I see they're self-driving. How well would this work with tiny in air obstacles like power lines?

There is anti-collision software included. I'm imagining it works very similar to the way Google's self-driving car does.
