Yep, and the box floated. She was there to retrieve it. I’m sure it was fine.
Insane
And what percent of these types of deliveries were successful?
And how does that compare with other forms of delivery?
What about safety? How many accidents do Amazon drivers cause every year?
Again, it’s wrong to draw bad conclusions from small sample sizes.
“ Amazon prompts users to pick a safe delivery site, suggesting customers select a drop-off location at least 10 feet away from people, pets, vehicles and objects taller than 5 feet.”
***************************************************************
Well, to be fair, the customer’s selection of a drop-off location met all those criteria.
“to be fair...”
Words of an apologist for bad behavior.
Am I the only one who finds this scenario amusing? Does that make me a bad person?
And like the poster above said-it dropped in her pool! Probably the best outcome!
Same way NASA does it.
Well if the box contained pool toys no big deal.....if it was an iMac however...
The programmer was probably a newspaper boy in his childhood.
Robot driven cars MIGHT be safer.
dystopian drone delivery that went DISASTROUSLY wrong,
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some disater. Were there many death or dimemberments as a result of this disaster?
Wish online shops would allow you to pick how you want your stuff delivered even if it meant paying a different rate
Personally I think life was better Pre-Amazon.
The roads in my area are frequently blocked by Amazon, Walmart, FedEx and so on, parked on the road with their flashers on.
Blocking trafic.
And as my area is hilly trying to pass these trucks can be hazardous. Traffic coming the other way will be doing 45 MPH at minimum.
These trucks will be parked on the road even if the delivery address has a driveway. Unless the driveway is exceptionally long.
With the holiday season just two months away I am already seeing an uptick in the number of these trucks on the road.
Once Christmas season is in full flush it will become very dangerous to be on the road.
I can’t wait for drone delivery out here in the sticks. My dogs already chase the delivery trucks that drive down the highway regardless whether they are making a delivery or just driving by 60mph. Drones will be even more fun and their noise will give the dogs a heads up that there might be something to tear apart down to molecular level.
Remind me to never take an Amazon drone taxi.
Gotta say, that’s a beautiful pool.
Don’t really care about the drone or package.
BOMBS AWAY
Keep seeing an ad on tubi where the drone keeps falling over and people have to help it get up ,LOL
A “clean” delivery???
How will they do it? FCC licensed remote pilots in India? Bring them here?
