Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations.

looool.

[Hurr-Durr]

[JarredLv]

I actually don't see this as that all far fetched.

 

[Ben89]

Nice, I wonder how delivery would work for office/apartment buildings.

They'll use their hellfire missiles to make a door.

Cant wait till people start shooting them out of the sky for some free gadgets.

 

[BigWill]

[dreamscape]

This is what happens when people want $15/hr minimum wages...

 

[(O_o)]

So what happens when it gets stuck in a tree/a dog gets it/someone steals it?

probably happens anyways with UPS/Fedex.

 

[knownerror]

This looks awesome, would break a lot of companies however.

This was the first thing that popped into my head, except that it would be angry fedex/UPS workers who lost their job.

This badass...

Limitations:

1. Energy source. They would go through way too many lithium battery packs.

2. Route planning. Needs human-intelligence to avoid tree branches, power lines, birds, etc. Not so great if your package gets dropped on your roof, or in the bushes..

3. Wind. Strong winds knocking them down. Would have to hire more workers to use GPS to track down the broken ones. Or even ones with failures.

4. Customers. (You know some people are going to bitch about them not ringing the door bell. There will be assholes out there.)

 

[Fiver]

I don't want a fucking drone on my property. Period.

Well fuck, with the amount of packages I receive from Amazon, it's time for me to build a drone landing pad. Great idea, A++ would bang.

PS: LOL FAA LOL
