This is absurd. The only product anyone might need delivered this fast is
condoms.

An Amazon Prime <http://www.amazon.com/> Air drone. (Amazon / December 1,
2013)
Delivery <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delivery_%28commerce%29> drones are
on their way.
Amazon.com<http://www.latimes.com/topic/economy-business-finance/amazon.com-inc.-ORCRP000672.topic>
on
Sunday introduced Prime
Air<http://www.amazon.com/b?ref_=tsm_1_tw_s_amzn_mx3eqp&node=8037720011>
,
a futuristic delivery system that the company says will get packages into
customers' hands in *half an hour or less, delivered via unmanned aerial
vehicles <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle>.*
The online retail <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_shopping> behemoth
posted a video on its website that shows footage of a recent Prime Air test
flight.
In the 80-second clip, which you can watch below, a shopper buys an item on
Amazon. The item is then placed into a plastic yellow Amazon container and
picked up at the end of a conveyor belt by an Amazon drone, which takes off
and soars over a grassy field before depositing the package with a thud
outside the shopper's doorstep.
"One day, Prime Air vehicles will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the
road today," the company said in a brief Q&A on its website.
Amazon said the company had been working on Prime Air in its
next-generation research and development lab, but cautioned that it would
be a while before customers could choose it as a delivery option.
"Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we
advance the technology and wait for the necessary FAA
<http://www.faa.gov/>rules and regulations," the company said.
Amazon added that it hoped the agency would put in place rules for unmanned
aerial vehicles by 2015. "We will be ready at that time."
Amazon founder and Chief Executive Jeff
Bezos<http://www.latimes.com/topic/economy-business-finance/consumer-goods-industries/jeff-bezos-PEBSL000379.topic>
introduced
the delivery-by-drone concept during a "60
Minutes<http://www.cbs.com/primetime/60_minutes/>"
segment on Sunday. He said Prime Air would be available for packages
weighing 5 pounds or less.
It's the latest bold bet by Amazon, which has been credited with
revolutionizing the way people shop online.
Already known for free, two-day delivery via its popular Amazon Prime
membership program, the company has lately been experimenting with same-day
delivery; it has also expanded its grocery
delivery<http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/11/business/la-fi-amazon-groceries-20130611>
offerings
and, most recently, announced that it was teaming with the U.S. Postal
Service<http://articles.latimes.com/2013/nov/10/business/la-fi-amazon-usps-20131109>
to
deliver Amazon packages on Sundays <http://www.last.fm/music/The%2BSundays>.
