Amazon Prime Air to do Drone Delivering soon
 
Amazon to Drone Delivering


Yes bring it on Jeff

http://media.skynews.com/media/image...-1-942x530.jpg


[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.]

Yes Utter Bliss

Amazon is the Best

Saph 02-12-2013 11:55 AM

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

King Gizzard 02-12-2013 11:57 AM

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

How would it deliver to flats

Ammi 02-12-2013 12:02 PM

..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...

King Gizzard 02-12-2013 12:04 PM

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

..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...
