Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it's dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

    Amazon's drone delivery is trash, you're correct. But eventually it will be significantly better than humans, input gps location and the product will be at that exact location give or take 1 foot

    Take a look at ziplines upcoming drome delivery service for instance, it will be significantly better than Amazon's and will be way better than a human delivery driver.

    eventually

    It's been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?

    All of the investors that originally paid into the idea have already made their money. There is no reason to continue the project.
