Comment on Amazon Promises Package Delivery By Drone: Is It for Real?parent

Comments

I'm saying that there is no reason for to be as noteworthy as it is right now. As Bezos himself says,

“this is early, this is still years away.”[1]

Yes, 30 minute drone delivery would be big news. That Amazon is in the very early stages of an R&D project to look at the feasibility of it is not. In any case, I am staking an early bet that you'll have your Amazon products delivered by a self driving van before you'll have a drone do it - especially if you live anywhere outside of a major metropolitan area.
