ive used amazon prime forever since im a shopper of least resistance, ie, most convenience. theres unlimited music and movies basically as lagniappe since i got it for the 2 day shipping. now theres amazon prime now in selected areas. (major cities only currently) which means there is 2 hr guaranteed shipping. or 1 hour for 7.99 i think it is. so if you want a set of tires, a hersheys candy bar and some astro glide at 2 am on a thursday you can get it by 3 am. this is the future but even i think its a bit much. so we havent even scratched the surface of our instant gratification i take it? god help mankind in the oh so near future. when the drones get approved via faa, amazon will deliver via amazon prime air in 30 mins or less. like dominos. just with everything else including pizzas. good for forgotten birthdays, mothers days, etc. bad otherwise.
And rednecks everywhere are just waiting to shoot one of these things down and steal your iPad and eat your pizza
A couple of years ago some county I think in Colorado was selling drone hunting licenses. They'll eat my pizza when they pry my cold greasy fingers fr around the pepperoni.
in major cities amazon fresh will deliver your groceries, even letting you select the preferred banana ripeness
the good news for amazon/drones is that approx. 80% of the items in a typical fulfillment center weigh 5 lbs. or less
When the skys are full of delivery drones I can see this leading to all kinds of lawsuits. "I wrecked my car when the low flying Amazon drone flew in front of me and I swerved to avoid it." The McDonalds delivery drone spilled hot coffee on my lap." "The drone's rotor blades cut my arm when I reached for my package."
Great idea, I'm looking for them now. May look into a radar system to help. I gots no problems putting this big blue mother in a ditch
Yeah hunting drones will be like christmas. Was the first thing I thought of. Wonder what the limit is per day. Per the drones you have a selected list of not so heavy items to choose from.
