On the matter of shooting down Amazon delivery drones with shotguns.
It won't be there. But if it was, no, you couldn't shoot it down. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12...with_shotguns/ |
It still has to wait for permission from US regulators.
|
I'm not sure which is worse - the adopting for commercial use something that even for defense should be used ultra-rarely, the habituation of people to potentially being spied on, or the encouragement of the current mania for everything being so FAST.

Everything you read (including what you read here on emd) should be taken with a grain of salt....

A proof of concept
Drone delivers goods, not from Amazon, but from a Minnesota brewery.

Looks to me like it's delivering a cardboard box.

Of course, it's just a public relations stunt anyway. I would have never heard of that beer brand without seeing that video. Bill |
Now it's a pizzeria in Mumbai/Bombay...http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-f...where-27537120

Well, at least they don't have to tip the delivery boy. ;)
Or do they? :eek: |
Having waited for over three weeks, for an item that qualified for free delivery, I can only conclude that the drone crashed - Amazon will not get any of my business again.
