i actually love this. it's so stupid and has zero utility and i can't imagine it offers any value in terms of customer service or profitability or efficiency
𝔟𝔲𝔱,
it's really cool yes tiny metal angel bring me trinkets like a mechanical crow. blot out the sun with your flock
Interesting that they said they planned to use it to deliver hot meals to customers, then they drop it from 12 feet. I have dropped food from a much lower height and it doesn’t end well.
And then we have the problem of keeping the "hot meal" hot when it flies to you at 45,000 feet. Curious to see how they think they're going to solve THAT one.
Perfect item. Already broken prior to delivery. One of the few items that can survive drone delivery. If you want chopped walnuts but whole walnuts are cheaper you could just get them drone delivered and it comes with a free upgrade to finely chopped.

* If it's not rainy or too windy or the item is breakable, or if you have trees, or if your car is on the drive way or if you have cows, or if your kids have slingshots, or if we draw a bad tarot card.
The issue is software costs relatively little but physical R+D costs a shitton to develop. So the programmers are real confident and don't listen to the engineers, who are considered "old school."
Long after the birds are gone, Amazon Drones will get sucked into jet engines and it’ll feel just the same. Except this time you’ll have bits of food raining down from the heavens
