Technology: To Change Delivery Drivers Soon.

 Amazon To Introduce Flying Drone Delivery Service In 2015

 AMAZON PRIME AIR

Founder and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has announced a game-changing service in the works: a delivery service carried out by automated, flying drones.

The innovative service, to be called ‘Amazon Prime Air’, features product delivery by actual flying machines—the ‘octocopter’ drones pick up packages directly from the warehouse, and fly out to deliver them.

“I know this looks like science fiction, but it’s not,” said Bezos. Each drone can deliver a five-pound package in about half-an-hour, directly to the recipient’s doorstep.

The drones are powered by electricity, and are a greener alternative to driving trucks. “You give them coordinates and which GPS locations to fly to, and they take off and fly,” said Bezos, who is optimistic about finalizing this project by 2015. 

 Frequently Asked Questions 

 Q: Is this science fiction or is this real? A: It looks like science fiction, but it's real. From a technology point of view, we'll be ready to enter commercial operations as soon as the necessary regulations are in place. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is actively working on rules for unmanned aerial vehicles. 

Q: One day we'll see a fleet of Prime Air vehicles in the sky? A: Yes. One day, Prime Air vehicles will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today. 

Q: When will I be able to choose Prime Air as a delivery option? A: We hope the FAA's rules will be in place as early as sometime in 2015. We will be ready at that time. 

Q: How are you going to ensure public safety? A: The FAA is actively working on rules and an approach for unmanned aerial vehicles that will prioritize public safety. Safety will be our top priority, and our vehicles will be built with multiple redundancies and designed to commercial aviation standards. 

These services will blow your mind on the coming years. Better keep up with trends and technology if you have that willingness to plug in to this Generation: The Information Age.
