A "pilot"? What? I am 99.999999% certain Amazon intends for them to be completely autonomous.

  > How can you build a system where one pilot is responsible for many drones? They might be imagining the pilot being some form of "air controller" person.

    I imagine it will be semi-automatic. Drone will go to it's destination and on arival human pilot will take control over drone to deliver package. To make it fully autonomus Amazon would have to install standarized landing spaces in all customers houses. Not all people have garden/safe spot where packege can be just drop off. Also those spots tends to look and be in different places. For some people it will be back garden for other some kind of terrace with roof and no walls thats why final stage of delivery will have to be operated by human.

      They mention in the article that a costumer would put a "landing mat" on their property. I imagine to get one of these, they'd have to agree to something that makes them liable in case they put it somewhere where the drone breaks.
