Well, you know, Bezos is a pretty smart guy. So maybe he knows something about this technology that the rest of us don't.
Maybe he has an upper hand over the current state-of-the-art.
- crusso 13y agoOr maybe he's just orchestrating a little extra PR for Amazon on 60 minutes?
- enraged_camel 13y agoI have no particular love for Bezos - last I heard, Amazon sucks as a workplace - but this seems unlikely. There are better ways to drive PR than reveal one of your company's secret projects to the public.
- mrpdaemon 13y agoOr he wants to create public demand for this service to use as leverage for getting the regulations through.
- scotth 13y agoYeah, right. The privileged information available only to the mega-rich...pfft.

I don't want to knock hobbyists, because they often do great work. But if Amazon thinks this is the future of package delivery, they could bring an awful lot of resources to bear on the problem.
- javert 13y agoBezos has access to massive R&D resources because he created massive value for consumers. Now, those resources can be leveraged to generate even more value for consumers.
- 001sky 13y agoThe privileged information available only to the mega-rich...pfft. Don't dismiss the value of insider information re: government policy.
