What is this world coming to?
On the other hand, I think this would be great for online wine retailers. Imagine ordering up a magnum of Bollinger or Veuve Clicquot on ice, and having it delivered by drone to your campsite somewhere in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest, navigating by GPS coordinates.

Seems to me this will NOT be possible. The craft would be succeptable to high or even moderate wind, blown off course, blown into buildings, people, etc... The craft could interfere with helicopter flight plans.. I can see these things hitting power lines.
I just don’t see it... could be wrong, I guess.

dropped a bombshell?He's just having some fun. This drone concept will take many years before becoming feasible.

They will be government drones operating under the pretense that they’re only delivering packages.

The drones will likely be more valuable than the products they’re delivering. I suspect quite a few won’t return to the Amazon Dronatorium.

Last night, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos dropped a bombshell on the Sunday night TV news show “60 Minutes” when he said that his company was developing so-called “copter” drones to deliver online goods, with a tentative launch date potentially arriving in the next four to five years. Can I order unexploded WWII ordinance via this new shipping method?

But companies are downsizing and getting rid of the internal mail delivery people.
So the drone drops the packages off on some pad near the company. Who takes it in and delivers it to the actual recipient?
To: Renfield
Will they make that funny noise like George Jetson’s hovercraft?

Driverless cars. Home delivery by pilotless planes. Nice for the cover of Popular Science, but not realistic.

Those won’t go far and won’t go where there are often high winds.

On one hand, I look forward to drone technology.
On the other hand, criminal and government abuse of drone technology is mind-boggling.
