And on top of which, these are definitely noisy nuisances, and as a result people are gonna fuck with them, and it’s inevitable that eventually it’s gonna hurt someone, which’ll cause a huge backlash and expensive lawsuits, etc etc etc.
The only situation i can see these being even potentially viable is in very rural areas, where delivery routes are expensive, people have lots of open land for it to safely reach the ground, and there aren’t a lot of nearby neighbors to annoy
I cannot see how Amazon expects to profit on this. Seems wildly expensive/complex and I’d rather wait than pay more for shipping.
I mean, if I could order some random stuff and have it delivered by drone in less than an hour even if it’s 1am then that’s pretty great.
I’m sure all the neighbors will be stoked being awoken by a drone at 1 am 😂
Personally, I prefer a quiet neighborhood over faster delivery.

“Leroy! One of them Amazon critters is coming! Bring your shotgun! Last time we gots that airpad thingy, let’s see what this one brings”
I’ll drink 12 beers to that
