I'm trying not to be cynical, but to me this still feels like there is a huge gap between now and scaling this into urban areas.
As other commenters have pointed out, how is Amazon going to operate drone fleets in cities?
Of course we must take small steps to get to the Amazon utopia, but we must question how much hype there is on these kinds of 'demos'. After all, it's drone technology demonstrating pickup/dropoff over rural land.
- peteretep 10y agoDo they need to operate in the cities right now, or is a hybrid fleet an option and different solutions for different population densities? I note as well that in a city like Oxford (UK) many/most houses do in fact have gardens. Different cities, different solutions. Not everywhere is NYC
