Amazon Is Experimenting With Autonomous Flying Delivery Drones
- ptwobrussell 13y agoSo the ultimate goal of doing something like this would be to make same delivery normative? I wonder if there are patents filings that somehow try to protect this "intellectual property"?
- ptwobrussell 13y agoNice link to the official Amazon video about this as well - http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8037720011 http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8037720011
- ams6110 13y agoI'm really having trouble imagining how flying drones departing a central depot, delivering packages one at a time and then returning for the next one is more economical than a truck full of packages on a well-planned route. Not to mention the fun the neighborhood kids will have shooting them down.
- TrevorJ 13y agoThat's not the infrastructure they want to replace: it's the couriers who deliver the ultra-high priority packages.
