IF you are not familiar with Amazon Prime Air, I would recommend you google it. Prime Air is an unmanned flying drone delivery programme that Amazon has in advanced stages of beta test. It’s disruptive. You order your product online from Amazon using your phone or tablet, pay using a mobile payment system, then an automated picking system selects your good, loads it into an unmanned drone, which takes off vertically, flies to your house, using “observe and avoid” technology to ensure it doesn’t “hit” anything on its journey, it will land in your garden, drop off your package within 30 minutes of placing your order, then return back to base.
Just for good measure whilst your package is in transit, you can view an on board camera on the drone to track its journey to your house with a delivery time count time accurate to the second.
