Polish couriers can rest easy for now, but their American colleagues threatens competition from robots. The largest online store in the world considering the automation shipments
drones today are associated either with the army or toys for the big boys. Of course there are still drones doing photos for Google Maps. But so far no one was considering using them for really serious work. Except maybe the guys with epaulets wanting at all costs so grab. terrorists.
Jeff Bezos, the head of the American giant – Amazon.com. In an interview with CBS Bezos revealed that his company is experimenting with drones and a new form of mail delivery. The service is tentatively called Prime Air. It’s about providing small, weighing up to 5 pounds (2.27 kg) packages by air directly to customers. Without intermediaries, in a record time of 30 minutes after placing the order. Fast shipping would of course depend on the availability of goods in a distribution center for Amazon.
drones could start flying now for 4 or 5 years, arriving in time to express recipients living in a radius of 16 km from the center of the distribution. Currently in the United States alone there are tens of such magazines. Tests of the system itself shipments conducted by drones are already underway, but the fate of Prime Air is dependent on whether the government agency FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) finally give the green light Amazonowi.
According to Bezos, when it comes to weight of the shipment, the drones would be able to handle up to 86 percent. orders handled by Amazon. The whole sounds like science fiction can, but the U.S. company to the matter goes completely seriously. On YouTube, you can see the first video from Prime Air testing services.
Customers probably will be happy with the idea of ??guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes. Unfortunately, you can not say the same about American couriers.
