Here are a few of the risks that I see on the horizon in general and at the end, I will comment on DAAS risks as I see them today.

I believe we have moved past the peak of expectations for the drone market and begun to do the earnest block-and-tackling value creating development that will be required to build a sustainable business. The big questions that still needs to be answered are:

What is the ROI?

How much money can I save?

Does it improve customer service?, etc.

Unfortunately, most businesses have very little operating history and only a few data points to prove end user value, so the companies that are focused on applications that yield quantifiable ROI will ultimately be the survivors.
