Amazon Prime Air

What do you think?


Amazon Prime Air what is it?

Amazon Prime Air is a new idea from the leading company Amazon, obviously they have been thinking of this for a long time now, but they have only just announced their ideas to the public. Amazon Prime Air will supposedly deliver items that are under the weight limit, on time, with an un manned drone. I say supposedly because I am really unsure how this going to work. Anyway, Amazon Prime Air will be able to deliver your item within 30 mins. 

What are the implications that Amazon will need to take into consideration?

Firstly, GPS systems, at the moment most GPS systems are quite accurate most of the time, most of the time will not be the answer for Amazon, as if they want the delivery of the product to be a smooth as their advertisement then they really need to spend some time and money on perfecting the systems.

Secondly, Landing, where are the drones going to know where to land, this will be very difficult to predict as they will need to have a stable place to land, or the drone will crash, many of us have gardens and gates and other objects that can get in the way, (unless Amazon will tell you to clear your driveway). This also links into people who live in apartments/flats, how will the drone get to them? 

Lastly, They will have to consider the weather, if it is strong winds on a certain will they cease the deliveries for that day? By the looks of things and logic the drones look like light weight aircrafts which is a hard job to keep in the air, and also harder to keep in the air with public able to interfere with the craft. 

Overall, This will be a great idea, and would save so much time but I think it will take a lot of time, but I forgot to mention non of this will be needed to consider if Amazon don't successfully achieve one thing, is to get their crafts approved, it is such a safety risk for many reasons as you could imagine, Amazon are going to have a tough job ensuring that crafts are safe and reliable.
