Haha. You must live somewhere pretty crazy if you expect that much violence and theft. People don't randomly attack everything. Sure, there'll be some losses

Haha. You must live somewhere pretty crazy if you expect that much violence and theft. People don't randomly attack everything. Sure, there'll be some losses, but that's true of any business, plus you'll have the theft on camera and just stop delivering to those neighborhoods. Compare the cost of drone loss to UPS' cost due to accidents. It would take an insane amount of effort to steal that many drones.
- ck2 11y agoYes I live in a low-incoming neighborhood and everything gets destroyed by unsupervised kids and teenagers that run around after school before parents get home (and some even after parents are home). But I also live near college student housing and they pretty much do something similar with their drinking and partying. Just like UPS cannot leave packages for me here, I couldn't get drone delivery either. Not everyone can afford or wants to live in suburbs.
- TheCoelacanth 11y agoLow income areas also conveniently (for Amazon) have lower amounts of money to spend, so they are a much less desirable location to provide a service like this. They wouldn't have to provide this service everywhere for it to make sense to do it in some places.
