How Amazon Drone Delivery Will Work

It’s well over a decade since Amazon launched its Prime delivery service; in fact it was 2007 when the company first introduced us to unlimited next-day shipping on what was at the time almost a million products. But in 13 years, we have seen little change. That is, until recently.
Many areas now offer same-day delivery, but behind closed doors Amazon had been working on an ambitious plan to realise almost instant delivery. The goal? Just 30 minutes, from the click of the ‘order now’ button to the tangible products, in our hands.
Every delivery company can agree that the final mile or so of a product’s journey is the most expensive. As it leaves a shipping container, and steps away from the lorry’s vessel, it enters the smallest vehicle yet - vans, and sometimes cars. Rather than carrying millions of products, a driver can now only carry a few dozen. Employing thousands of drivers comes at incredible cost to shipping companies.

[@breadfan9]

WOnt happen 1. That shit will get shot out of the sky 2. The battery willl run out and fall on a kid and kill them. 3. It will be too windy or rainy 80% of the time for delivery 4. Too many flying and will run into each other (FAA) 5. TOo expensive and not worth it. 6. Not efficient enough. Delivering only 1 maybe 2 deliveries is not productive 7/ Weight limitations.

[@rickjohansson4257]

This is why I think its a non-starter. If someone is operating a toy one in my neighborhood I can hear it. Now multiply that volume by 10 and then have a few dozen replace a truck- no - they will be sued for noise pollution and stop it before it scales up.

[@aeromodelist]

​@@breadfan9 1- No, you can't. Not allowed 2- It will kill the traffic jams first before killing the kids. 3- Restrict flights when there is too much wind like today's aircraft and design a waterproof model. 4- Thermal and optical cross detection with local emission/reception of electromagnetic fields between UAVs 5- Low energy consumption thanks to the optimisation of delivery & electricity routes to compensate for the high initial investment (paid by the transport companies) 6- UberEats pays people to ride bicycles to deliver the food you have ordered to your home (both expensive and socially unfair). 7- Most parcels delivered weigh less than 2 kg, why should this be a limitation since large parcels can still be delivered by ground transport? I will add that 9 million people die due to air pollution and 1.3 million people die on roads every year, which is accelerated by the increasing pressure on road networks. UAVs make noise, but can you bear cars' traffic noise?

[@breadfan9]

@@aeromodelist basically you are making it out that these things CANT PHYSICALLY happen which is WRONG. I CAN shot one down, but it is illegal. That's doesn't fix the problem that it CAN happen. And saying it will land in traffic before it kills someone DOESNT MEAN IT WONT HAPPEN. I don't care if it hits 9 cars before it kills a kid. The point is it can and will happen. Low energy consumption doesn't fix noise pollution never mind bird crashes. ANd car traffic noise is ESSENTIAL becuase we HAVE to transport humans. It will happen just not in our lifetime. Not on a large scale. Would have already happened by now. Automated cars arnt taking off in this lifetime and wont until waaaays from now. Again, on a large scale. Hell. electrical cars are not abundant as people think they would and that has been in the making close to 30 years now!

Remote ID and a UTM will have to be implemented before drone delivery or BVLOS operations move from testing/POC to a scalable service.

[@Mantikal]

I work at a college mail room and I'm dismayed at the condition that a good portion Amazon's packages come in. (90% of the packages coming in are from Amazon): - Empty bubble wrap envelopes - maybe the plastic envelope sealer machine wasn't working well that day - or maybe a carrier pulled the 5-finger discount move. - Piss poor tape up jobs of boxes - where the box seams are falling apart (where some of the contents probably fell out along the way). The nylon web reinforced paper tape they use looks like it wasn't moistened all along its full length before applying it - (only in a few spots) so the package is barely holding itself together. - Using massive sized envelopes (or boxes) for tiny items - that are bouncing around inside. - which would throw the boxes off-balance as they move and possibly have them fall off of conveyor-belts they're moving along. I don't know if it's system-wide or from one or two plants of theirs but it just gives off this vibe like "f@ck it we don't care. We're too big too fail" or "we're under so much pressure push stuff out, we don't have time to care" That's from - hand delivery - will that continue through drone delivery?

How might any unintentional damage caused during a drone delivery be resolved? How will Amazon deliver to someone who lives on the tenth floor of an apartment block, with no outside space to land on? How will incorrect or missing deliveries be resolved? Given the relatively limited range of a typical drone - lets just say 50 miles at the extreme, for the sake of making a point - won't this mean Amazon will need to establish hundreds more local delivery depots, with associated increases in costs? Will that additional cost be passed on to the customer. ( I think I already know the answer to that).

Then the culprit of this damage is seen (a white Phantom type drone) to bounces away from the car. However, if the frame is frozen at 3.40 the culprit is NOT a drone but what appears to be a car or van battery dropped onto the vehicle. Can you explain this?

This isn't the norm. In a much of Europe and North America, Amazon offers same day (like you order in the morning and it will be there within 8hrs) or next day prime delivery. I can even order from Amazon Japan and get the item within a week at my location for low or no cost, which is incredible.

[@Live-for-today-YouTube-channel]

Amazon's Prime delivery service has seen little change since its launch over a decade ago, until recently. Amazon has been working on an ambitious plan to reduce the delivery time from next-day to just 30 minutes. This would involve the use of the smallest vehicles possible, such as vans and cars, to deliver only a few dozen products at a time. This is a much more expensive process than shipping containers, as it requires employing a large number of drivers. However, Amazon believes that this is the only way to achieve their goal of near-instant delivery.

[@ronaldbeck1762]

Take it from a 35 year fedex guy. Drones will not read your note and place the shipment in the shed. They will not find your 3rd floor apt. You will find the drone and your pkg under a snow drift down the street .... at the end of winter ...

The doctor and the accountant do not want sensitive patient info left unattended in a big pile.

I've got a second floor balcony, and a flat roof. This is about as safe as it gets, unless there are thieves on my roof. Its the little six wheel cooler thats tough to secure. Could anyone actually net gun a drone at 400 feet? Shotgun sure, but then you wouldn't care about stealing the contents.

Fantastic job they done by their delivery drone.

My biggest concern, you see, is Amazon becoming a monopoly of modern world wide delivery infrastructure.

[@worldmapping4895]

cause amazon is trustable, unlike aliexpress whichsends your package 4 months late

[@mamta3632]

Very nice but I wonder how it would be for delivery workers whose jobs are lost

[@msingh2333]

Will never work. Too many stolen parcels and claims. Also too slow, compared to a multi drop driver, who can deliver 30 parcels an hour.

[@Juxtaposed_IRL]

And can't 30 drones deliver in half the time?

[@msingh2333]

@@Juxtaposed_IRL no

I one came to me house and i took it and broke it haha messing

[@catsarethebest8947]

Lots of speculation. Drone Delivery Canada has drone shipping for business to business already started and more to come with its bigger 180kg carrying drone nearly on the market. The consumer delivery model still has alot of safety concerns to work out. They want 1000s of trucks off the road but will need 10's of thousands of drones to replace them. It will happen, just not right now.

[@foralianachawla8771]

Beautiful idea especially for contactless delivery serving the need of the hour. Especially, for crime prone areas; it comes out as a great solution to unsafe roads of different countries. Also, adding to the market share of the company.

yes let's stay home and live a completely paranoid and hypochondriac life ... sounds like hell

Might be better to hurl the customer's package folded into a shittle -like cardboard glider out of the back of a 737 well over many customer rural properties and use foil antennas adhered to the glider's wings too affect the airflow and effectively turn the falling glider to the home. All radio controlled by a computer in the delivery plane. Even deploying a drogue chute near the ground with a radio frequency. No servos in glider, just foil antennas heating static "flaps". What do you think?

More unemployment. I like a van and a human driver to deceiver my packages. I do not like the drone at all i have a happy drivers who delivers my packages. Poor will always be poor. Rich will always be rich. Drone will not be able to carry a heavy one

[@yuuanderson5026]

Why don't you complain about cars that made Coachmen in Carriages unemployed? This is the future and the Poor should just die of than hold our technological advancement. Not to mention they are probably poor from bad decision, over population because the poor have nothing to do but reproduce lol Technology are making people's life better, but ofc it have a price lmao

Amazon is tech giant. It is very useful in USA.

[@joaodecarvalho7012]

This is at the core of Amazon's idea. They must be investing a lot in this technology.

[@rhechellaspera5466]

Now’s the best time to invest in the drone industry. Buy shares of ALPP (Alpine4Technologies). They own Impossible Aerospace (drone with longest battery life) and has recently acquired VAYU (drone with heaviest weight capacity for delivery). They already have US government contracts and will acquire more contracts with the US Dept. of Defense. Soon, we expect them to be doing package deliveries.

How Amazon drones work: drivers lose their jobs

[@anticom6099]

They can become drone repairmen

[@colelawton4901]

@@anticom6099 drivers do not become drone repairmen. Every drone can replace a driver. Not every drone requires its own repairman. The 1:1 ratio does not equate. Not to mention the difference in qualifications required. Drivers are low skill low income work, anyone with a driver's license can find work as a driver to hold off between jobs. Those same low qualification workers cannot simply put on a new hat and start doing electronic hardware repair or fixing software glitches on drones. It requires training and anything software related (which as development continues will reduce the demand for hardware repairs) requires schooling. It comes with complications. Now one could say sure, let low skill workers die out and starve to death. It would be natural selection. However, our government won't let that happen. Instead those people will be living off welfare. Which doesn't come from nowhere, so it comes from the taxes paid by middle and upper class. Then those people living off welfare grow, and vote, and have more kids who also won't have work. Now its turning from complications to a mess.

[@anticom6099]

@Cole Lawton they will if that’s the only job available. That and other automation programming and/or maintenance related jobs.

[@colelawton4901]

@@anticom6099 right but I don't think you're understanding the fact that those jobs are not replacing work at a 1:1 ratio. The needs of the individual lacking a job does not make a new job appear. If 100 drivers are replaced by drones, and not every drone needs 1 repairman working full time for them, then there will not be 100 open positions for full time repairmen. Does it make more sense worded that way? In other words, let's say 1 full time repairman can do routine inspections, maintenance and repairs on 10 drones in an 8 hour day (low balling it hard rn), that means there's 10 new job openings for repairmen taking the place of 100 drivers. The other 90 drivers are out of a job. As far as other automation programming and maintenance related work, the same effect still applies. The reason companies switch to automation is because it is cheaper. It's cheaper because you don't have to pay as many employees. You kinda see where this is going? They aren't buying the drones and then also hiring an equal amount of higher skill employees. It takes 1 IT guy to fix software issues for a fleet of drones.

[@anticom6099]

@Cole Lawton new jobs will appear.

Unique system of delivery product

[@Valrak_The_Unyielding]

they should have a feature where if it detects a threat it pops out a little machine gun mounted on its bottom and eliminates the threat

A channel with quality. Cool 😎

[@d-rex6846]

What about bad weather how will it stand through that?

[@Blood_n_Donuts]

Sounds incredible. but it's a pipe dream. there's way too many problems to be worked out before they can even think of getting this going. It's gonna be a looong time. Imagine the cost of a million of high-quality drones, monstrous global charging station infrastructure. Huge teams of air traffic controllers, rescue drones, repair vans, malfunctioning drones causing car accidents, kids getting hit. Kids throwing rocks at the drones, people shooting at drones, windy days, rain, sleet snow ice. etc etc
