Sorry to have another blog article about Amazon, but I'm guessing their Drone Delivery business unit didn't coordinate with the AmazonGo business unit press release timing. Regardless, I thought the update to be worthy of sharing and discussing.
Amazon has announced the success of its first autonomous drone delivery December 7th, 2016. The service is called Prime Air and its lofty objective is to have a half hour order cycle times --meaning that it should take less than a half-hour from the time that the customer clicks "buy" to the point where the customer has their order.
Sounds great in concept, but I have to agree with Moulton Logistics' CEO, Larry Moulton on this one and say, "I'm skeptical." Yes, technically Amazon has already proven it can be done with the success of their first delivery that was made in only 13 minutes, but there are some humorous observations that can be made from their video primarily with the "test market."
