I see flying robots.
I want to grow up to be an Amazon drone pilot.
(note: This post is not sponsored by Amazon. Occasionally I am a customer of Amazon. I really enjoy their odd product reviews on a dull day. If they have a paid program to become a drone pilot, I'm in.)
They will have pilots right?
The drones can’t be foolproof enough to fly autonomously - right?
If you have not heard the news of Amazon drones then you probably were out shopping. Maybe you are recovering in the hospital from your black Friday battles. Here’s a link to the story.
Sure the drone could figure out the location with GPS. How could it possibly handling my neighbor’s kid? I suspect he is already developing his rocket powered net trap that shoots out from their tall tree. It would too expensive to equip the drone with surface-to-air missile warnings.
Of course telling the world that your company has this technology “under development” is not the same as actually releasing the service. The announcement did create a buzz (hey this blog wrote about it) and that free news coverage might have paid for the development so far. I wish I could announce a hair-brain idea for this blog and get that type of buzz. Hmm, I know, Lisleman is developing a technology to project my blog posts on the side of recycle collection trucks around the nation.
Also what happens when Walmart and Target join in the flying package delivery? You know this all started with Santa and his sleigh. But he flew his sleigh. I don’t think the reindeer were in charge. Santa as a drone doesn't inspire me to leave out cookies and milk.
Imagine in a few years seeing competing drones buzzing around. The competition attacks could get so bad they might need to deploy fighter escorts. Now that would be fun job, Amazon fighter drone pilot. Flying into the danger zone. Where’s Kelly Mcgillis? (BTW, according to the internet Kelly is 56 now - that makes feel older than this drone idea)
Take my package away!
Watching that clip reminded that white t-shirts have never looked as sexy as they did in that movie.
