    Amazon CEO stated in the interview where he unveiled the hex copter that it's design is specifically for sub 30 minute delivery of packages 5 lbs or less (86% of what they sell) and only within 10-20 miles of the fulfillment center.

    He said they have them, they work, are completely autonomous without needing anyone controlling it, they just need the 2015 FAA guidelines to start flying them and expect to see them in around 5 years.

    These people are already organizing ahead of time to shoot down Amazon drones. We truly live in a surreal world.

    Assuming these lethal Americans are worried about being spied upon, I'm surprised there isn't a similar following for shooting Google Vans or vehicles with dashcams.

    After reading the site and a quick follow up from my previous post it seems the big bad gubment is removing Class G airspace (it is basically unregulated airspace currently and only below ~1200ft Above Ground Level. I would like a verification on this else I'll have to check it out after work.

    Basically, that it exactly what it happening. There are also new guidelines governing the behavior and safety redundancies in drones.
