Drone technology is definitely the future. It is more likely to take the place of inspection and monitoring. Traffic cams and reports will almost be all drones within a decade. The news helicopter will be a thing of the past. Visual inspections of cell towers, flare stacks, roofing, real estate drive-by appraisals will all be done by drone.

As for Amazon, They have a stock price of over $550 and a market cap of almost $250 billion. They have money to burn in the investigation and experimentation with reduced costs in an area f massive cost to them, delivery. They hope to create a viable drone delivery system and corner the market cutting out Fed Ex, Ups, The USPS and the entire massive cost they bear with shipping.

Remember, they offer free shipping AND free movie, TV, music and book streaming for less than $10 a month with Amazon Prime. Cutting back on delivery costs is simply good business. Even if they simply prove it not viable.

that makes sense. It’s just hard to imagine a sky filled with tens of thousands of them, I guess.
