Amazon testing delivery by drone, CEO tells 60 Minutes

[samtalksradio]

Oh god please don't tell me this how it started out in the Terminator franchise: oh the machines are our friends they are here to help us: and then baam they become self-aware and destroy us all god help us.

So in decades the US Sky will be full of drones ? It will be far much easier to have surveillance drones this way and people will complain but they'll reply "you already have delivery drones, is it bad ?"
I'm not really feeling the future.

great point

nikkas are going to shoot these things down and get free ipods.

its already hard enough getting 911 to the hood, now we gotta deal with getting a stiff arm from a drone too?

I suspect someone will have to "fly" the drones so they will have cameras, what will happen next is the FBI will call in a delivery to your house, then subpoena the video footage, or like google earth, amazon will have a wide array of "eyes in the sky" meaning all the gov needs to do is "request" the video logs.

RIP freedom of privacy. Usher out on the wings of "economic progress".

Supreme Court case waiting to happen.

In fact, they won't even need to order something to your house. They can just order something to your neighbors and control the cameras to spy on you.

Or they can order something that forces the drone to fly over your house. They'd be able to order an operation at the same time a drone "coincidentally" flew overhead.

Yep...and to take it another level...we may actually begin to see all transportation vehicles graduate to becoming fully automated so that the network or grid that all of these automated machines operate efficiently for maximum traffic flow and minimal accidents.

nah. no way a grid for regular commuters is available before they even fix the fukkn crumbling bridges

Thats not really mind blowing though. NSA/CIA/FBI have been in the back rooms at all of the telecoms(Especially AT&T) as well as the big internet firms like Yahoo, Google, etc.

The movie Enemy of the State brought all of the spying into the mainstream. I guess no one paid attention to it seeing how "shocked" everyone is about the govt spying programs but I guess thats a topic for its own thread lol

i wouldnt advise of this. my wife said the same thing "nuccas in the hood will just shoot them down."

i said you do that. and you go from delivery unarmed drones to delivery ARMED drones accidentally shooting people.

.... history in the making ...

but them jokers shooting back though

Another question to ask is how big will these sonabytches be .... I mean are they going to be carrying big screen TVs?? or just packages of a certain size ... again if one of these jokers malfunctions and falls from the sky on somebody or something ... shiit is going get a lot of attention ...

shiit got 5 million views in one day ....

ernest ly

lol, love the idea but forsee someone creating a fleet of PIRATE DRONES...

it will get to a point where when you see a human doing a low skilled job, you will know you are looking at a 3rd world country. first world nations are going to be in a state of upheaval or massive welfare if this keeps up.

they're one of our new clients.... so what ever they do i hope it's profitable and some trickle downs.

Nobody cares about those warehouse workers n shyt @yo moms

This seems like a good idea if they can pull it off. Hope there are no malfunctions that kill children/women.

 

[Calmye]

shyt, I'd love this right now. Amazon is sending all their packages through Fedex Ground where I work. Having them send the little packages this way would help a lot during peak season.

Lazy ass.. You're basically being replaced
