Bad headline, because it'd sensationalist. But, the article was okay. It gets at the clash between tech companies who are excited about testing out some new thing they think will be big, and the actual, real people who become their non-consenting experimental subjects. As a product person, I can understand the people working on this thinking it's a win-win for everybody, but I can also sympathize with any residents who think they have no reason to trust Amazon. In particular: > [An Amazon spokesperson said] The company’s drone “does not capture imagery from underneath when it is flying to its delivery destination and back” and doesn’t use that data for any other purpose. I have low confidence that the spirit of that statement is true today, given all the places in that sentence that leave room for interpretation, and I have every confidence that they would gladly use a fleet of drones to capture valuable image data once it's in place and people are used to it.
