We need some laws to regulate these drones ASAP. You're telling me that we're allowing Amazon to fly drones and drop shit out of the sky whenever it wants? This company can't even reliably deliver a package using its own couriers, yet we have to trust them with a system that could potentially kill people? That's fucking insane.

What exactly find you missing with current "drone" regulations? Amazon patenting something doesn't mean that they can just do it...

> You're telling me that we're allowing Amazon to fly drones and drop shit out of the sky whenever it wants No, we don't. Amazon is not doing anything with drones right now. If you bothered reading the article, you would know that Amazon only has a patent for a airbag for dropping packages. "Amazon, keenly focused on automation and cheap, efficient delivery of products, has obtained dozens of drone-related patents in recent years. But it remains to be seen whether this latest one, or any of the others, will lead to technology used in drone deliveries."
