Amazon May Use Drones To Deliver Packages

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos says with four or five years the company may be using drones to deliver goods.

…the online-retailing giant seized the chance offered by a Charlie Rose-led segment on “60 Minutes” to unveil an effort it is making to use automated drones to deliver the millions of goods its customers order.

…Bezos…told Rose on the CBS program that the drones could carry up to five pounds of goods in a ten-mile radius from one of the company’s fulfillment centers. He estimated the fascinating gadgets, which would use GPS coordinates to find a specific location, would likely not appear for four to five years, calling an estimate before 2015 overly optimistic. The drones would be “very green,” he told Rose, since they would not burn fuel like delivery trucks.
