I wonder what the air above us will look like when all those buzzers fly around - not to speak of the crashes. Let's hope the FAA does not allow such a nuisance.

The police are using drones. Maybe it should be limited to law enforcement, fire, rescue, etc. A Guy

Dumb unworkable and dangerous idea. It should be banned but then do the civil aviation rules apply below a certain height?
It could open up a whole new crime "industry" - delivery interceptor drones

Maybe even simpler. Crooks with a GPS emitter that sends false location info to the drone. Funny how no matter what address the delivery is for it ends up down at the waterfront?

I do know some people that would like such things flying all over.
Skeet practice.

NYC would be a real challenge with most people living in so many tall buildings without a porch.

Currently the FAA does not allow commercial drone use nor any with cameras on them, even private users due to privacy issues.

Come on surely nobody actually believes they are testing this, it was just a marketing exercise to get them all over the world news on the biggest online shopping day of the year :sarc:

 

[boohbah]

be cool if they did though, you could go drone hunting with a 12 guage and bag yourself a laptop ,or book or even a winter jumper /sweater.

it would be like shooting down santas sleigh.

Amazon is surly going to loose your next few orders.
You have let the cat out of the bag.

 

[MilesAhead]

Hmmm, I don't know if there are enough drones for all the deliveries. They're all running for political office.

More fun than clay pigeons and you get a prize when you shoot one down.
