What if there's a shitload of trees in your yard? Do they just bomb your house with the package?

How much for a hellfire?

Can the drone airscrew do serious damage to human body when it hits you or it is just as harmless
as touching unproteced fan on my desk and stopping it this way

Imagine a fleet of these things loaded with explosives and used by a foreign invader. "General did you order something from Amazon?" BOOM

In the future they should build one the size of a helicopter that can deliver generators and lawnmowers. lol

The model on the video doesnt look like able to deliver some bigger package. It could be used by post service to deliver mail letters though.

"The drones have a range of ten miles and can carry products under five pounds, which covers about 86% of the online retailer’s inventory."

I think they're pretty neat, but I think it's going to take a lot of hardship and missing drones before they become a staple in modern delivery mechanisms.

I cannot fathom how these will be a success or even logical. How much do they cost to run? Surely they're not cheaper than a conventional courier in the long-run? They carry one package per time and fly down into your garden and drop the package there and leave it. You wat? They'll start crashing into people and people will try to capture them or destroy them; it's just silly. I'd bet money this is just a publicity stunt.

I think they are just letting the world know they are serious, to encourage regulators and such to catch up, and to gauge public opinion.

I doubt they have anything that works in the real world yet, but also, they want it to all be legalised and accepted by the public before they put in the real hard work and risk of developing it.

I love the idea.. if you had a world disaster 30 mins to fly medical eqipment and aid isnt a bad thing? whats that 500 people dont have food 30 mins later 500 drones with 500 burger kings.

as for shooting it down im sure it will have CCTV and tracking on it ect. If you want to stand and shoot it as it speeds past feel free but im not sure how far you would get the guy thats in the controll room will most likely report you before you can get a few blocks.

you've got to be kidding me.  amazon must be doing this for publicity.  that piece of crap can't possibly be the actual drone one day.
