Coming soon: Amazon Delivery Drones?

He’s made point, click and shop a huge part of our lives. Now Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos is promising delivery by drone. He unveiled his plan to CBS’s 60 Minutes.
These are octocopters. These are drones, but there’s no reason that they can’t be used as delivery vehicles. Bezos say the vehicles Amazon’s developing can carry objects weighing up to five pounds, which he says covers 86% of the items they deliver. He says they can fly within 10 miles of any Amazon distribution center and they will be . That means no operator with a joystick in front of a screen. They’ll program the coordinates of your house on GPS and it will fly there. But there are all sorts of potential pitfalls like how is Amazon going to safeguard against these so called octocopters from veering off-course and hitting us in the head? How will they avoid unknown obstacles on the roof, even other unmanned aerial vehicles? What else can go wrong? Jamming would certainly be an issue. Hacking, trying to take down the system, just cutting off that GPS signal. Another issue is weather. That even dogs U.S. military UAVs in combat today. And I think there’s also just the potential for these things getting shot down. And then there’s the accuracy question. Will the package actually be dropped at your back door? Or will it end up on the roof? Could it be stolen? First, Bezos has to have American law on his side. Right now, the FAA doesn’t allow drones to be flown for commercial purposes or outside the operator’s line of sight. But in 2015, the FAA will have new and that kind of drone flying might be allowed. They have to ensure that the operators have sensitive weight capabilities on those aircraft, that the aircraft can de-conflict the airspace so they don’t collide with others and also that the operators are operating in a way to ensure they are not flying in the route of manned aircraft or over airports. The use of delivery drones for this type of commerce is drawing serious concern on Capitol Hill. Senator Jay Rockefeller says he will hold hearings soon to look at the potential benefits of all this, but also the risks.
