Online retail juggernaut Amazon has revealed Prime Air, a new delivery system designed to get packages to customers within “30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles.”
While the retailer concedes the project looks like science fiction it insists that, “
rom a technology point of view, we’ll be ready to enter commercial operations as soon as the necessary regulations are in place.”
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently determining the rules that will need to be in place in order for aerial drones to share United States skies with traditional aircraft. Amazon hopes the FAA rules will be set as early as some point in 2015 and promises that it will be ready at this time.
