When "overnight delivery" isn't fast enough
When "overnight delivery" isn't fast enough
#1
Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the ... th-drones/]Amazon envisions eventually delivering packages in 30 minutes via drones

(Apparently this was on 60 Minutes yesterday, but who watches broadcast TV any more?)

While "octocopter" is a silly name, at least somebody's working on flying delivery trucks. I wonder whether Amazon can lick the design issues - especially the endurance issue, which to me looks like a deal-breaker.
