Drone Delivery Sooner or Later?
We have known for a while that Amazon has been thinking about using drones to deliver packages (Amazon Prime Air). We have also known that Walmart wants to use drones to deliver too. There is a problem with this though, there are no rules or regulations set up for this particular activity. Amazon has proposed a plan to designate pieces of airspace for fast and slow drones. There is one problem with this, what if the customer lives near an airport? Drones aren't allowed to fly near airports in fear of messing with the planes.
Some people think that drone delivery is unneeded. That it will ruin shopping experience. Others think that it will help a lot. Amazon says that they will deliver in 30 minutes or less. They also predict that they will start delivering in 2017. This shows that drone delivery is a long time away, but it when it happens it will change the way people shop.
It must be crazy to order something and have it come in 30 minutes. My one issue with this is that if the drone fell or something, some random dude on the street would get my phone case. (That's all I buy on Amazon. Woo.)
