Amazing. He’s going to have to build a *lot* of distribution centers, since the drones’ range isn’t unlimited. Think of the air traffic congestion questions with govt vs private drones. Limited payloads so small list of deliverables, now. FedEx and UPS aren’t going to be happy to lose the business. But amazing, nonetheless.

Did you see the whole 60 Minutes segment with Bezos? I DVRed for the drones, but the entire segment is well worth watching.

Fascinating, especially their current warehousing and distribution methods. I had no idea!

Above may just be about the drones (I can’t play it to find out).

I haven’t been able to find a link to the entire Bezos segment.
