Sorry for MS “commercial” but I think about tinkering with the AirSim framework. I suppose that the most pressing issue to solve within UAV technology is air traffic control and navigation of these vehicles to ensure safety.

Do you have any references that uav can move a mass with less energy use or pollution? As far as I know they would use more. flight can be more efficient but usually only if its a long distance because take off and landing is energy intensive. Drones fly somewhat like helicopters though which I was under the impression was one of the most energy intensive travel means. as far as I know, good to bad wise, its like walk - bike - train - bus - long flight - car - short flight - ships (mainly I think do to how they are powered. sailing or electrified may be way better) - and helicopter would be at the worst level of pollution.
