This week I read "6 Ways Drone Delivery Could be a Game Changer", which is an article that focuses on ways drone delivery can have its advantages and disadvantages.
The main idea of the article is, Amazon can have their drones deliver within 30 minutes. I thought it was interesting because if someone was working on a project, and there was a tool missing. They could tap on their phone and the drone could be at their location within 30 minutes.
It made me wonder if shooting down drones will affect Amazon deliveries and just the common public worries. According to
wdrb.com. A man shot down a drone flying over his house and he got arrested. The pilot claimed he was flying it over his friend's house to take pictures. The public worries about they're privacy the most, therefore they don't want unmanned aircraft with cameras constantly flying over their house. For example, in this case, there where children that were playing in there yard and being recorded at the same time. Who knows who was filming and what they will do with that film.
In later reports of the man arrested, the judge stated that:
“I think it’s credible testimony that his drone was hovering from anywhere, for two or three times over these people’s property, that it was an invasion of their privacy and that they had the right to shoot this drone,” Judge Ward told the courtroom. “And I’m going to dismiss his charge.”
Some of the problems that amazon will face include, invasion of privacy and the rights and actions that people have to protect their privacy. It's hard for most people, except enthusiasts, to spot an official aircraft vs a non-inhabatent aircraft. Therefore arising the issue of fear among most of the public today.
There are rules about flying a drone around a neighborhood, school or field. But most of those drones are kids or young fathers receiving them for Christmas, birthdays, etc. But there is a difference between kids and companies flying their own drones. yes, the public is supposed to abide by the rules of safe flying, but if we're talking about a big company, investing a tone of money to further reach their success, there should be accommodations made for that specific company. Most of the drones that the public freak out about are the ones that the kids have that malfunction or are flown poorly, that end up crashing or hopping over a fence into another resident's property. Most of Amazon's drones would be flying really high until they reached the destination, so people might not be aware of the drones. Assuming Amazon doesn't want their company at risk after increased flourishing within the past 2 years, they would abide by the special airspace rules that were made and reasons for Amazon.

I feel like I might be more worried about a large company with the lot of drones than I'd be about some 12 year old kid flying a drone into my backyard. So do you think companies like Amazon should be more or less regulated than regular people?
ReplyDeleteYou have good info, but make clearer transitions between the ideas.
What would Amazon do if a drone get lost or damaged? Also wouldn't this create risk of people stealing the drones and selling them for parts due to the increase in the drone industry. How does Amazon prevent this from happening?
