    You guys are missing the simplest point, how would someone like me who lives in the Bronx receive their package? They going to drop it on my fire escape or in the middle of the street? lol.

    Apparently it's only gonna work if you're in a certain radius of the Amazon warehouse. I'm sure it won't work in NYC... maybe some sort of different method.

    Also definitely won't run close to airports with lower flying planes. It's a noble idea but it's not gonna be as extraordinary as others feel. Not everyone will be eligible.

    No way that's going to be allowed in nyc so currently I don't care.

    I heard about this 3 months ago via lifehacker and thought it was a bit extreme.

    This will take more than five years of testing before they leave the nest by the dozens.

    In the first month of wide use of course. Especially since they are wireless.

    They probably already have sadly. The US introduced this nice little stealth toy to the world. It's only a matter of time before someone creates their own undetectable flying monster.

    Can you say thieves with binoculars waiting to pick off these packages soon as they hit the ground?
