Delivery by Drone??????

[CommaHolly]

OK, who wants their 5lb or less e-cigarette (or any other) purchases delivered within 30 minutes by drone???????

Anyone want to suggest this to fasttech??????

Amazon testing delivery by drone, CEO Bezos says

I remember watching a programme when I was a kid telling of how we would be going about our daily business and getting to the office in flying cars, LIARS !!

As someone who's into RC helis it scares me. Those rotors can do some nasty damage. But definitely cool thinking an order could be to your door in 30 min

I want to know what's going to keep them from bumping into eachother and telephone, electric wires, etc,,,,,,,,especially after there are dozens flying in the air in any one given area at a time,,,,,,,

and yes, I remember being told we'd all do our shopping on the computer,,,,,,,,hey wait!

Proximity sensors aren't hard. Protection from angry birds is a whole other matter.

Sensors would keep them from colliding with things. But things fail and I don't want to be under it if it does :-0

Will there be individual seasons for bow and shotgun, and how much are extra tags?

Hey, a steady stream of drones carrying vape-gear to my place would be great ... but this is Canada and it would likely lag several years behind the US in implementing, and instead of mechanical drones we would use human drones, and instead of 30 minutes it would be 3 - 10 days ... wait, I guess we are ahead of the game already

I wish I could get my order that fast! I am eagerly awaiting an MVP2 from 101vape.com and am really hoping it's here by Thursday! I get sooo impatient when I am excited and really looking forward to something.

Call me cynical but that 'announcement' was nothing more than a promotion of Amazon - traffic driving to Bezos website on the busiest online shopping day of the year.

It's an interesting concept - but that's all it is imho.

Still, I love their 2 day prime shipping - 99% of the time that's fast enough for me.

Now, 3D printing of e-liquids - that's a concept I could really get behind.

Exactly my thoughts when I saw it. Who paid for this ad.

Or protection from rednecks making a sport out of drone hunting.

That's one of the first things I thought. What about all those slope headed knuckle draggers who'll want to take pot shots at the drones? Not to mention having their hound dogs fetch 'em. Or their kids. SMH.

Those knuckle draggers may have good reason to be concerned. Safety and privacy come to mind right off the top of my head.

Most of our stuff is already delivered by drones. They're called the USPS.

 

[Vaslovik]

No doubt there will be pizza delivery drones on the way soon, and I'm quite sure the enterprising Sinaloa cartel is looking into drug smuggling drones already. Fly [moderated] over the Rio Grande, drop it right where your guy is, fly the drone back for another load. I'd be real surprised if it's not already being done.
