Amazon Drone Deliveries

Mister

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67132527

An interesting idea. Is it a good idea? Thinking 

Well they declare it will mean deliveries in less than an hour, for some, then again this is Amazon we are dealing with so I'm not entirely sure I can believe that! 

I also worry if the drone malfunctions and starts dropping the parcels. It would be most unfortunate if I had to use my darling Mister Biddlesworth as a hat to protect my precious head.

And then what of birds in the sky? If a fiendishly clever magpie takes off with my parcel will Amazon send out more drones to retrieve it or will I have to wait for my refund for the next 30 days?

There is much to consider here. Package

  • i guess it will cut alot of drivers jobs out. and probably some warehouse staff jobs too... so theres negative of cutting jobs down and making it less jobs out there and more unemployed people.

    the positives, for them, they cut staff down, cut expenses down. they cut fuel down, they cut vehicle repair down, they can deliver fast without being stuck in traffic but i dunno about long distances though as drones are likely slower if they have to go long distance.

    its likely easier for any random to shoot down the drone or interfere and steal the parcel without the amazon drone pilot or company able to stop the theft... but i dont think amazon cares about that as amazon have risked theft many times with their walk in and take items payless shop idea they had that supposedly auto charges you for anything you walk out with somehow.
