Topic: Amazon drones, lol - page 2. (Read 5592 times)

if these drones not working for this then we have only aliens for this work and its more difficult option for humans to use them 

I think this would be awesome.
Yes it's unlikely, but imagine ordering something, and having it delivered an hour later!!!
I will say that the concept is probably likely to happen in the future but not with drones.

Don't be silly. They're not using it to spy on the humans they're only using it to keep an eye on the aliens (or is that what they want me to believe).

yes the main idea behind this they want to do spying to all humans nothing more behind this 

That is what's going to happen in the next decade. Capitalists and governments will keep an eye and spy on every fucking human in the city.

Do you really believe they will send those things without a gps tracking device on them ?
What I'm more concern about would be that they even might get a camera on board , and film everything on their way.

Not nice having a few hundred camera watching your every step around the city.

I'm sure they'll have GPS tracking devices in and at least one camera.

Once the drone lands just throw a net on the damn thing and take it home. If Amazon comes looking for their drone just tell them that you had seen it flying in a north northeastern direction about an hour ago.

If they can carry a Ipad  they could go and carry almost 1kg of drugs.
Their advantage will be in numbers , good luck stopping a few thousands of those each day.

I'm sure I read an article somewhere that drugs cartels had already tried or are doing this over the boarder. It's briefly mentioned here: http://newstalk870.am/mexican-drug-cartels-using-drones-to-scout-border-crossings/

Not sure how much drugs those tiny Amazon drones could carry though.

A bit of FUD in #78. Commercial drones will likely have a much lower min safe alt and max ceiling than helicopters, be prohibited in controlled airspace, and various other safety regs will apply. I wouldn't be surprised to see some similarities to FAR Part 103 (ultralights).

Deliveries within 30 minutes sounds so goddamn enticing But good luck getting these to work amazon.

I'm seriously gonna catch one of these with a net and keep it for myself as a toy or sell it on ebay

If this was any other company but Amazon, I'd agree.  What bothers me about this is knowing that Jeff Bezos is completely serious about spending a large amount of cash to try to make this happen.  This company gives nearly 0 fucks about advertising.  The only thing they've advertised on TV is the Kindle.  They have little interest or utility in free publicity.

This drone situation is compounded by the fact that drugs are coming over the border via drones, now.  How long till one of these cartels (probably the Sinaloa cartel) dress up a drone with an Amazon banner?  It's not a stretch, they already operate fully-submersible subs.  Besides, the liability that this kind of operation entails is not something Amazon is exactly fond of.  It will take one person getting hit in the face by one of these things to make the whole operation a fucking disaster.

Have you ever seen a map of active flights over airspace in the U.S.?  It looks fucking ridiculous, intitially, you wonder how more of these jets don't smash into each other.  The last thing anyone in the aviation field needs or wants is to be dealing with commercial drones on their radars during take-offs and landings.

Before any of these concerns can really be addressed, there is the matter of the FAA.  They will do everything they can short of invoking a national security clause to stop this pipe-dream from happening. (they may even do that)

Therefore, I reiterate, Jeff Bezos should stfu and look into more productive shipping methods.   They spend billions of dollars in shipping costs every year, driving their investors up the wall.  Why not open up a dedicated shipping and delivery service instead of paying out the ass to use existing third-party methods?  They could even buy-out an existing service to save time and get a head start on acquiring equipment and facilities.

The hunt begins fellas I will sure shoot atleast one down.

Only if you live within a half-hour radius of a distribution centre, so I'm guessing this will exclude the majority of people.

The future is happening guys,
more and more company such Amazon, UPS , FedEx are considering to deliver customers packages in half an hour or less so let's give it a shot

Seems like modern day warfare has evolved so much that it is no longer a matter of how many casualties a technology can take out, but how to destroy or furthermore control an entire civilization via manipulation and/or infiltration.

Somehow, I see this technology putting snipers outta business. Sight 10 enemy soldiers 3 miles out, and deploy 10 stinking insect drones.
