3)Drones in Logistics: A Feasible Future or a waste of effort.
Author: Andrew Lotz
Bowling Green State University,(2015), Honors Projects. 204
Relevance: This paper evaluates four area's: legal, finance, light limitations, and the most important one fulfillment of customer satisfaction. When talking about fulfillment of customer satisfaction, Andrew Lotz mainly talks about the effect of drones that have camera's on the privacy of customers Link:[8]
4) Is Hong Kong Ready for D-Day?: An Examination of the Up-and-Coming Commercial Drone Industry from a Legal Perspective
Ng Wai Hei, Fong Yan Nok, Mok Ka Wing, and Lee Yip Hang
Volume 1(3),2015 Journal of Law, Technology and Public Policy,
Relevance: This paper treats the liability of seller who entrust drone carriers in regards to theft, weather and other obstacles. The chapters 6 and 7 treats these problems. It addresses an interesting point that the general rule is that if the seller is authorized or required to send the goods to the buyer, delivery of the goods to a carrier, whether named by the buyer or not, for the purpose of delivering the goods to the buyer is prima facie deemed to be a delivery of the goods to the buyer.

2) SAME-DAY DELIVERY: CAN DRONES PLAY A ROLE? Stehmann, Christoph
Relevance: It directly oposes the possibilities with drone delivery. From smaller drones to full commercial drones including their infrastructure. Compared to our subjectives it fits in most with responsibilities.
3) Drone (legally) delivers packages, but the technology still needs work
Starr, Graham. The Christian Science Monitor; Boston, Mass.
Relevance: It states some clear and critically important statements about drone delivery and the possibilities and restrictions. Using these critical views we might interpretate the concept of drone delivery better.
4) Blue Sky Birds Come to the World
Bura, Sabiha Kelek. Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law;
Relevance: This article has three important impacts that are determined by technoligical capabilities, regularity pressure and public acceptance so that it will be dealed within current powers and circumstances. It gives a clear vision of the overal picture and then focusses on delivery aspects.
5) Air traffic control for delivery drones
David Schneider, Top Tech 2017
Relevance:' This paper directly opposes the current possibilities for delivery drones and compares the different multinationals that are trying to use them. Very helpfull for understand the idea of delivery drones.
