I'm surprised the general population is inclined to believe such bullshit - in fact I'm surprised Amazon themselves are inclined to believe it.
Flying by "drone" is:
- more expensive
- not reliable (at all)
- prone to theft (of the drone, not the package, mind you)
- doesn't work at all in bad weather
- less efficient than current delivery methods
- easy & fun to circumvent (oh crap someone killed the 1300mhz range, our 10 000 drones just fell off the sky, military style, QUICK NEWS STORY)
it goes on and on, forever, literally... if anything I think automated driving cars are easier to get right.
