An interesting glimpse into the future or just publicity? Delivery "works" within 16 miles of an Amazon depot. Does anyone really need a book that quickly? I can imagine the youngsters with their catapults and ball bearings having immense fun, let alone the ones armed with air rifles.

Mind, the government might like it - look for legislation to add cameras to every delivery drone or to block cameras at all so that some Amazon (or Walmart or pizza place) yahoo isn't spying on whoever ordered the 'Kama Sutra', the cute negligee and the Spanish Fly pizza. :lol:

Publicity stunt; nothing more.

Interesting and attention-getting (after all, that's the whole point) but probably completely unworkable in the real world anytime soon--or maybe ever. I predict we'll see driverless cars and trucks long before we see driverless aerial delivery drones.
