Re: I laugh when I hear people say "Amazon Air will never wo
I sort of agree with most of what Monte55 said. Even if it becomes possible dont mean its going to be feasible for as he put it an ear bud emergency. But I would wager we will see them used for other vital things to remote locations before we see some one getting some none essential non vital package dropped off to regular every day joes. and even tho many know how the goverment likes to ban stuff and stifle good ideals. They also like to make sure they can clamp down on the financiers competitors. after all its not like the US goverment likes true free market capitializim. and If and when amazon is able to pull it off and start doing it USPS as well as ups are not going to like it esp when it will keep all of them from profiting from amazons sales. So you will have them all pushing to either get them banned or to be able to use them also to compete.
But like I said the day will come when drones are used to deliver important things to out of the way areas and they also will be used to bring things in to dangerous locations. The military is already converting some of its helicopters to be drones and they envision being able to use them to fly supply's in to areas were they dont want to risk a pilot going in to.
I also can see some day were drones will be and could be used for rescue missions to. and unlike amazon if DARPA wants to deloope some thing they dont need goverment approval or even worry about profit or lose. They can just use all the money it takes if they think they want some thing bad enough. and if they run out of money to fund them selves the goverment can just tax us to death some more and just take as much of the peoples money as they need to keep going. Amazon dont have that luxury to be able to shake people down for there tribute money to keep there expansion of the empire going.
I see all this happening way before getting a pair of shoes off of amazon. and even that I'm sure some day they could get it all going and clear all the hurtals that need to be over come. But I dont think regular every day private cos are going to be using drones on a big scale any time to soon. Because its also going to take time to get people to be accustomed to it and not fearful of it even once they do get it down so its safe dependable and reliable. Thats going to take a few years to reprogram people to not be scared of new things and have to counter the deliberate campaign to Villonize civilian drones for the last few years to try and make every one scared of any drone that isnt a goverment spying or killing machine. THO THEY SEEM perfectly ok and no one seems to care about there own goverment using drones to kill people or spy on citizens. But some one just flying around a hobby drone and its all "oh no hide the kids hide the wife quick ma go get me my gun there violating our privacccccy"
