It has not happened in the USA as yet. It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
UAVs sound like a neat idea and may will work in some limited situations. It will be a while before it works over any real distance. The liability insurance will be a tricky thing to figure out. Once one of them smashes into a building, a car or worse a human and kills or injures someone the lawyers will come running. A UAV that can carry a several pound package 10 miles and get back to the warehouse is not going to be a cheap thing. Especially if the wind comes up or the rain starts. They will not be flying much in windy areas. It is hard to fly a Cessna in 30 to 40 MPH winds and that is not uncommon around Oklahoma. Most UAVs will be just a pile of plastic in short orser in 40 MPH winds.
