“Jeff Bezos is nothing if not a showman. Amazon’s CEO loves a good reveal, and took the opportunity afforded by a 60 Minutes segment to show off his company’s latest creation: drones that can deliver packages up to 5 pounds to your house in less than half an hour. They’re technically octocopters, as part of a program called “Amazon Prime Air.”

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/drone-regulation/
“There’s been a lot of hype around unmanned drones becoming a fixture over U.S. airspace, both forlaw enforcement use and for operations by businesses as varied as farmers and filmmakers. All have big implications for traditional conceptions of privacy, as unmanned planes can loiter over people’s backyards and snap pictures for far longer than piloted aircraft.”

What if you orderA drone and then the Amazon drone delivers your drone to your house and then your neighbors flying a drone and then your other neighbors flying a drone flying a drone with another controller flying a drone
2017 now almost 2018 and we still don’t have them LMAO!!!
its 2017 still no drones
Wrong soy boy!
The Scumbags at Amazon need to start delivering to P.O. boxes instead of spending billions on drone delivery.Keep it Simple Stupid
Bruh it’s already 2018
2018 still doesn’t exist. R.I.P.
2015! It’s 2017!
Just have a robo car deliver it and then you come out and pop the truck. Just schedule it when your home. Ohhh I like that!
End of 2018 still no drone
4 YEARS LATER AHEM
Uninformed video, lacking understanding of the technology, even for the time. Desperately needs updating..
hello from the future! (2018 to be exact) Let me tell ya something: there STILL isn’t Amazon PrimeAir!!!
*wow*
I recently had a Maytag dishwasher. Fall out of the sky and land on my head. The attorneys that are representing amazon said. That I could keep it as well as amazon. Will include a free three year extended warranty. As a settlement I am still mulling it over.
What the hell is it with science stuff being presented by arts and entertainment people?
I just hope it’s a option for drones to deliver packages by drone
Hey its the dude from siecnce and star wars
Fast fowarding 7 years. What’s the update now?
Its 2019 and no drone deliveries for me yet. I am Amazon prime member.
Well seeker, maybe you can order a human being owner’s manual from Amazon so that you could learn how to be a person.
2015 omg omg it is gona be here in one day 1 day later oh mabye tomorow mean whille 2018 oh what did you say i dont remember!
2017 rn
Well that with cost well: THATS ALOTA DAMUAGE

By 2015, haha.
What if one lands at a park? A dog will think it’s a frisbee. Flying over golf courses will be a problem.
2013_____________________________________________________________________________________It’s 2018
2018 drowns still aren’t here
You’re an idiot! The same bs government regulations that don’t want me putting on my makeup on the 101 while my Tesla gets me to work. Stupid government regulations. Trump will open up these regulations
It’s 2018 now still nothing
Well, it’s 2020 and nada, nothing!
u was wrong
Now its 2019 we still have not seen drone delivery.
2018 now still waiting ⏲🕰🕤🕥🕡🕑
It’s may 2018. Still no Amazon drones.
Boy oh boy this video didn’t age well
2019 and no flying cars yet
An old video ohmy
Some people got a secret kick out of raining on other people’s parade. If it depended on them, we would still be making arrows out of stone.
they already started using it so it does work
If you dont wanna wait days for shipping, use expressamazonshipping . Com. They have 2 day shipping for free for stuff on amazon if you give them the link to what you want
Well, I’m watching this in 2017 and still no drone delivery…
Dude it’s 2017 and I still haven’t seen these 😢
Man were you wrooooooooooong lmao
Old video and this guy is wrong. Amazon got FAA approval for their drone deliveries this past August, technology on the drones has far advanced since 2015 and Amazon is field testing their drone delivery. I think it will be fairly widespread and in use within 5 years.
The basic problems people worry about can be fixed quite easily, these drones will be the main delivery service by 2025 for sure. Things like complicated addresses won’t be an issue with 1 to 1 connection between the customer and the drone AI. It could meet you on the nearest street to your house for example if it was having exact location issues and you would be able to see it’s location at all times. Faster, cheaper, more efficient it’s the same direction all industry’s are headed. Less cars etc on the road too. I think it’ll be pretty common even before 2025.
Who else would try to take down the drone and keep it if they bring it down 😙
i promise you it will work. and delivery jobs will be gone this is a really dumb video.
