I can't see a future where Americans don't shoot these down
post
What i haven’t seen clearly stated is what altitude are these going to fly at? One article I saw said that Amazon were trying to prohibit all drone flights between 200-400 feet AGL and reserve that solely for Amazon. Thats a huge chunk of airspace taken away from other drone users if so. It was an older article so curious what became of it. I guess one thing is clear, we are in for a noisy future.
It used to be that airplanes had to keep 1000 feet of altitude over residential areas. A drone with its camera can come right up to your front door? Fly over your home, take pictures of your yard?
Low level anti-aircraft system design sounds like a fun engineering hobby
That’s what they say, but what I hear is “free drone with every delivery.”
Can you imagine the noise of thousands of these things in the air at any given time? Fuck off bezos
If amazon sends your package via drone and I see it, there's a high chance you aren't getting your package. Why are you still ordering from amazon
How does Amazon think this is going to end? Have they SEEN a "Welcome to [city name in south]" sign? They are nearly always full of bullet holes. Heard of skeet shooting???
am i sleep deprived or does the headline say a completely different thing than the actual body of the article? surely neighbourhoods and cities are not the same thing???
That difference in definition is cultural and circumstantial, I think. Manhattan has enough neighborhoods for a whole Wikipedia article, for example.
