The supply chain vulnerabilities highlighted by the recent Ambassador Bridge blockage have stirred up talk about creating a corridor for drone delivery across the Detroit River. This had been under discussion, in particular with the Michigan Central innovation district, and may have found its legs after recent events.
Obviously this would not replace movement of heavy parts but could speed point to point delivery of lightweight critical items, like chips. Services like this exist, I know a friend who had a job at such company, where small aircraft are used to fly emergency items, but that is airport to airport, then must be motored to and from the airports.
