Bezos did this to boost sales and get free publicity. It still is plausible in a few cities in the US, but I'm sure there will be certain locations where it will be prohibited.
Why couldn't the drones used for delivery indoors, like in an arena for beer delivery? I could see it being adopted indoors first.
For me, it's not a silly idea. Without ideas like this, we won't be pushing the envelope and eventually adopting a similar technology at some point.
- hosh 13y agoI've never seen Bezos make a move that did not have at least both a short-term and a long-term effect, if not more. "Bezos did this to boost sales and get free publicity" is a statement underestimating Bezos. The narrative is simply too narrow of scope.
- TrevorJ 13y agoYours seems to be a common sentiment, but I think there are any number of plausible reasons for doing this including: -Leverage in dealing with other forms of last mile delivery when it comes to negotiating costs and contracts. -Kickstarting the necessary legislative framework which will likely take many years to finalize. -Goading other sectors of industry to start developing and testing the tech needed. Remember, Amz, is not shy about simply buying up companies to acquire technology it needs.
