"The Rules
Its important that all the player in the campaign work at cost and there be no special interests in the financing structure. This means that all vendors work at cost and there is a separate auditing function to ensure no one is profiting unfairly from the campaign. All investments and conflicts of interest would have to be publicly disclosed. The rules of the audit should include caps on individual salaries and no investor profits from the campaign function. (For example, this rule would apply to me.)"

another thing to remember... ALL IoT devices have admin credentials, its just a matter of whether or not they can be connected to, whether the credentials are compromised, and whether the device is susceptible to brute force.
what if one semi-truck could deliver the contents of 10x vans?
what if one semi-truck could deliver the contents of 10x vans in significantly less time than any one of the 10 vans by never getting off the highway?
what if one semi-truck could deliver the contents of 10x vans in significantly less time than any one of the 10 vans by never getting off the highway and be back to the warehouse ready for another round of deliveries within a 2 hours?
Removes - Reloading in the van (people?). Recharging/swapping in the van. Return trip to van. Truck waiting nearby 10 drones go out, what if one gets stuck somewhere? when do you abandon? 9 drones are just idling here and they are critical for the next stop's deliveries.
Adds - Warehouse preparation of drones for flight. more frequency of deliveries, as single truck can cover more ground in shorter time, making hourly delivery (pick your hour: 8.9.10.11 & 12 etc) an option for a much larger audience outside of cities. More Drone Losses - Getting the cost of these oneway units down would be key to offset this.
I think of it like a drone bomber from the sky, but on the ground and simpler to operate (direct operating costs for an airplane anyone.. its prohibitive).
It is a good prediction that we will someday be receiving our newly ordered toothbrush digitally, and have it physically printed in your home, but for now we still need physical goods to move from factory-warehouse-home
Recycle some of the components, and put the power/brain/battery unit in your mailbox.
