Amazon falls in 2nd place to Alibaba in drone race

 

Amazon’s Drone delivery program will catapult the world fully into the 21st century! I remember that day quite clearly. Waking up, turning on the computer for the latest tech news, and seeing THE Amazon headline. You know the one I mean: Amazon announces delivery by drones. The future had finally come at last. We still didn’t have the flying cars we were promised as children, but this drone thing was very cool indeed. Seems like China has beat Amazon to the Punch.

Amazon’s idea of having goods delivered by drone seemed so outlandishly ambitious and far-fetched at first. I mean, how do they get clearance from the FAA? How do they get around the battery life issue? You Wouldn’t want the drone carrying your ordered items to land in the wrong neighbourhood, right? Or crash down with your freshly ordered China Tea Set on the pavement in front of you.

The drone delivery is certainly a great idea on paper, but the reality usually looks a lot different. Amazon is facing an uphill battle to work out all the kinks before their master plan can come into full fruition.
