...I'm speechless. Assuming this thing completely gets off the ground (heh heh heh) this is absolutely huge.

Oh yeah, you say that's dope now, but when someone thinks it's an invasion and starts wildly firing at it and your package has a bullet hole, you won't say it's dope.

Depending on a lot of things, this could be a massive innovation in delivery once it gets off the ground. There are a lot of potential setbacks and I imagine that it's not going to be cheap, but still incredible.

I remember a taco company wanted to do this a year or two ago and the FAA shut it down.

I can't imagine what the increase in shipping cost would be like.

Sounds interesting but I doubt it already works as smoothly as depicted in this video. I mean, the thing landed right in the middle of the garden, right in front of the bloody porch! I'm also a bit concerned about the number of delivery men who may lose their job.

I want to do this just so I can say I did Quite. I'd order something I didn't even need just so I could see the drone bring it. I'd be pressed to my window the whole time waiting for it to come! |

What if this thing lands on someones head? Or people start following them and steal the product and/or drone?

What if this thing lands on someones head? Or people start following them and steal the product and/or drone? It probably would have a tracker, so stealing the drone would be foolish. The product, that could happen, but this delivers it within a short time period. Odds are, the dropoff would not be unattended for long. There are much less risky ways to make money, since either of these would result in easily getting caught. |

I'd do just to say that I did, but what package do you absolutely have to have in 30 minutes!?
I'd assume that you have to live in close proximity to an Amazon warehouse/facility as well.

Meh, most of the stuff i buy on amazon is used anyway, and there's no way those type of items can be delivered in 30 minutes.
