Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos appeared on an episode of ’60 Minutes’, where he revealed that the world’s largest online store has been working on experimental drone-based delivery systems.
The project is called ‘Prime Air’, and with it Bezos wants to be able to deliver goods to customers within half an hour of clicking the ‘buy’ button. He optimsitically claimed that the service would be ready to go in “four-to-five years”.
The drones will be capable of delivering items up to 2,3 kilos in weight, a figure which Bezos said accounts for 86 percent of the items that Amazon delivers.
I know this looks like science fiction, it’s not. This is early, this is still years away.
