Amazon to Drone Delivering


Yes bring it on Jeff

[Online retailer Amazon hopes to
have mini drones delivering packages
to customers in just 30 minutes,
its chief executive has claimed.
During a TV appearance in the
United States, Jeff Bezos played
a video showing the tiny robotic
devices, known as octocopters,
which pick up items in small
yellow buckets and whiz
them through the air.
I know this looks like science fiction.
It's not," Mr Bezos told CBS
television's 60 Minutes show.]

Believe it when I see it

But they are now testing them


Change is on its way.





Feel The Force

omg :laugh:

Yes Utter Bliss
you go outside it arrives and lands
all faster

Amazon is the Best

what do you do with it though? Does it just drop the parcel on your doorstep and fly off?

so many things that could go wrong/will go wrong, I don't think it's worth it

No you get a phone call it
lands on the ground
leaves your package.

It has multi cameras and a speaker
so they see you get it safe.

Aside from the fact that the novelty will wear off after the first time, there're so many problems with this:

- logistical problems (surely going to take years even after these 5 to iron out delivery problems)
- vandalism (what if some wise-ass tries shooting them out of the sky?)
- replacing human delivery = inevitable loss of jobs
- the cost of it will probably be an increase on current delivery charges
- being filmed and recorded by them to "make sure it's delivered" = unnecessary intrusion

i just don't...why...why is this necessary

but thats why they Test it for a long time first


If something goes wrong
they know about it as it has multi cameras
back at base a human controls it
if it has a problem


Do not be so Negative

this made me laugh though

How would it deliver to flats

..it's not the best of timing to release news about it to think that people would want a helicopter to be coming anywhere near their house...

outside on the pavement.

No as it small


They are use world wide to spy

Utterly pointless.

i'd go as far as too say it would be virtually impossible and it's just advertising for amazon

:joker:

Multi Cameras Alert Police


This is the Future - Join It
you spunker

..hmmmm, rational thinking or not and however 'safe' it's deemed, I can't think that will reassure many people who might be doubtful... in light of what has just happened...

20mins to Deliver by Drone.


2 hours by van




don't be silly reece

No
this is being tested for a few years first


To shut Shaun & Nate up etc

who needs stuff off amazon in 20 minutes though? "oh god i can't wait any longer than an hour for this breaking bad boxset"

No Shaun
it can be Food.



Amazon is getting Bigger

what if a bird gets lodged in the propellers or its raining hard and gets wet

Thats why you test it for a long time first.


Because it has Multi Cameras
back at amazon drone base
they know about it.

shame their tax contributions aren't :nono:

I bet you shop at amazon , though

Never going to happen I'm afraid arista

obviously :(

Have some faith


Tests give them all the Data

Cue the lawsuits when people begin dying from being smacked on the head from loose DVDs and that glass vase some housewife couldn't wait 24 hours for.

No way
tested for a year first
corrects all fears.



Nothing is loose
Testing is clever

Just as planes are not meant to crash, but some do. Things go wrong, nothing is flawless.

Just seems like a pointless development. There's no need for them.

No you are not positive



20mins Delivery can only be done by Air
Thats when it gets mega orders
I will use it - For Sure

Amazon 'Prime Air': Drones To Deliver Packages By 2015
 

:amazed: How cool is this!?
30 minutes to get a package is amazing!

This is cool, but even when/if it happens, doubt i'll use it.
Argos have a similar service where they ship an item to you from store asap and it can cost up to £50 on some items.
This will be as, if not more expensive. Nice option, but will be too expensive.

And what exactly do you do with the plastic box? Is it recyclable, returnable?

What happens if it's left in the garden and stolen?
