Packages Delivered by Drone

Amazon is moving forward with their idea to have drones deliver packages within 30 minutes of ordering your item through Amazon! This idea seems both crazy and really awesome at the same time, but they truly believe it is the future of package delivery and have made great progress.

They recently came out with a video of their drone that can be seen below.

This looks absolutely incredible.

Here is a an excerpt from an interview with Paul Misener, Amazon's vice president, on some of their considerations.

"We have different prototypes we’re working on simultaneously — different kinds of drones for different kinds of delivery circumstances. Our customers in the United States live in hot, dry, dusty areas like Phoenix, but they also live in hot, wet, rainy environments like Orlando, or up in the Colorado Rockies.

...our customers live in a wide variety of buildings. Some live in rural farmhouses, some live in high-rise city skyscrapers, and then everything in between, in suburban and exurban environments. We want to be able to serve all of those customers. And it may take a different kind of a drone to best work in each one."

I would like to know your thoughts!

Is this absolutely unrealistic?

What are some problems that you foresee with this system?

Could this be the future for all package delivery?
