Amazon’s drone ambitions took another step forward on Wednesday as the tech giant revealed its latest delivery drone design. At Amazon’s re:MARS Conference, Amazon executive Jeff Wilke showed off a fully-electric drone that can fly up to 15 miles and deliver packages under five pounds in less than 30 minutes.
Surely Bezos has good intentions here – but it may become his folly. Perhaps his money – and that of the shareholders – would be best spent expediting the “beam me up Scotty” technology or Next Generation of delivery methods without cluttering up the skies. Of course it will be a little more challenging – especially the part about not rematerializing a package inside a wall – or worse!
