That's not hard. GPS and some cheap software will get it done.

Drones are a big buzz in ag right now for scouting, but they are a ways out from being any good. Too much data and too many FAA rules as soon as line of sight is lost.


The problem with these Amazon units will be collision avoidance. All the sensors and software, not to mention processing power for collision avoidance will be substantial.

They're a long way from getting that done.

Oh yes. Those gps's... so good about landing you on your destinations door step and not a block down the road.

These things dont work without pilots and then its a useless service if it only works in a 10 mile radius on a 30 min time schedule... ****ing drive.

I never understand why people are immediately so skeptical about stuff like this. It's as if people haven't been paying attention to what Amazon (and Bezos) have accomplished in the past 15 years.

I guess we'll see in about a year.

I expect this idea will still be grounded.

By that logic, you could just shoot the UPS guy. I'm sure that someone out there will try to shoot one down, but it'd be a felony just like any other type of mail tampering.

The dirty secret here is that Amazon isn't even the first company to try to do this...

They're already off the ground and testing things out in China.

They navigate by GPS coordinates. No one is sitting around behind a computer screen flying them.
