Companies like Google, Amazon, and UPS are planning to fill the skies with autonomous cargo-carrying drones. These new cargo drones are a fast and eco-friendly alternative to traditional package delivery that could save you time and money. But, before this trend can take off customers have to be comfortable with giant drones flying over their neighborhoods.

How would you feel about cargo drones flying through your neighborhood?
Its not cost effective; There is no way google and or any other company is going to pump money into something unless it is going to make money. Remember Economics Brah The FFA will not going to clear anything of that nature. Also you have to think of people that will shoot them down if they enter someones property line.
Drones certainly are the future, but it’s easy to predict some of the negative consequences. Just a matter of time before some of them fall out of the sky onto someone’s head; or accidentally crashes into a building; or prematurely drops it payload into someone’s swimming pool; or is captured by people running around with nets; or is hijacked by evil-doers and commanded to crash into some target or other; or interferes with commercial jet traffic; or… or… or… So I don’t doubt that drones are here to stay, and in increasing numbers, but I’m darned if I can see how they are going to make the system safe and foolproof.
Okay. There is another concern: birds and animals could attack drones, as birds hitting planes. Maritime traffic disturbing whales, dolphins … These are the future source of regulatory traffic.
So what if I shoot one
Everything.
THE BIIGEST PUBLIC CONCERN IS ENTIRE TRANSPORT INDUSTRY JOB CLOSURE
already Amazon & ebay has closed malls
Ans : WE GOT TO ACCEPT HUMANS R MEANT TO ENJOY LIFE NOT TO DO JOBS ..machines r meant to do jobs.…The companies must be taxed JOB CUT TAX equal to half employee salary per 1 employee productivity & be paid to people as 1000$ free money
On long distance, high altitude cargo drones how does ATC work? Many drones may well not use an airport but traffic control is still likely to be a big issue. One does not want these drones coming down on people.
Cool a whole new crime network can be made .…. Taken down delivery drones. Truth
im going to steal one out of the sky and harvest its parts
Keep dreaming champ
Did the study, factor in new electric trucks vs drones?
When first cars were introduced there was a person walking in front of a car with a bell because of some regulations. Same situation here.
Dey took er jerbs!!
Most likely, even the clever brains (of whatever nationality including Americans) working on innovative projects like these use metric internally. Why are you using imperial?
Why don’t they just remote pilot 747’s?
Great commercial
At what cost?
Are freedom
Our jobs
So excited for cargo drones tbh. Hopefully it’ll free up traffic a little.
As long as they have their own runway stations not to direct customer per say, as well as solar panels
Technology replacing Humans means technology destroying humans.
I need to know more about Cargo Drones, range and payloads
Kilometres and Kilograms doesn’t exist anymore.
alo excelente video deseo que permanezcan haciendo este contenido… Voy a seguir mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un saludo nos vemos pronto 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
How about a plane that can fly with cargo in it… call it a Cargo Plane! It’ll do wonders
Better for the environment than the current system? Who says that? You need at least 20 drones that that do the job of a delivery truck in the same time. And the drones take at minimum four times the amount of energy per kilo.
Best for cargo import and export company and courier company and
Fast technology than a sea cargo ship for fast cargo from one country to another country destination
Make big Cargo drone just like cargo ship
Giant Cargo drone can fly fast on sea air fast than a cargo ship
🤲🤓
“Less environmental cost than 1 item delivery by car” — except trucks take out HUNDREDS of packages and then drop them off on a route. And for tractor trailers its THOUSANDS of packages between distribution centers. These drones take ONE package at a time.
For remote areas they make sense. For non remote, not so much, plus a sky filled with autonomous and RC drones being managed by stoned Zoomers? what could possibly go wrong?
“as ridiculous as it sounds the idea of flying cars is gaining serious traction…”
-uh…
Does nobody ever consider how polluting rare earths are, furthermore how polluting China is who monopolizes rare earths through the state/military..
It would suit me just fine but if i get the chance to rob the cargo i will
Car seat lowers ftom the sky
why not just modify existing planes to be drones then move on to these drones
Ngl never ever ever say boing 7, 77 ever again, simply say Boeing triple 7
They did it
Drone logistics are useful for smaller packages but they are weather effected. 🌀 5:54 The 5th Element movie was popular for a reason 😉
Yea Jerry we need a tow on this here illegally parked truck
Drone comes in)
Use anydral blade tips to reduce noise ‑see Joby.
Bulk transport rely on economy of scale: trucks, trains, ships.
we are building a cargo drone port network in the south UK. Can we get in touch so we can invite you to cover it when we test later this year?
Impulse purchases will skyrocket. Imagine an eshop thay sends your order within an hour !! 😂
