- trustfundbaby 13y agoHow do you figure?
- fiatmoney 13y agoLots of ways to knock out a drone out of the sky.
- evan_ 13y agoPresumably they'll have GPS and will phone home constantly- if someone shoots it down/hits it with a thrown ball/etc Amazon will probably send someone out to find it. If they find it mounted on someone's wall like a hunting trophy they'll call the police.
- im3w1l 13y agoShoot it down, take out the battery, put it in a faraday cage bag and sell it to the blackhat hardware modder. It ain't pretty but a few of those, and you can afford both food and mortage. You got to live off something, and jobs have been hard to come by since The Automatization. </story>
- evan_ 13y agoMaybe there's a camera live-streaming the flight, hell; within 10 miles of the warehouse maybe there's a guy in a tower with a pair of binoculars.
- crazytony 13y agostuff the package, I'm stealing the drone....
- kamaal 13y agoWill you? I don't see 'rampant theft' of delivery vans. If drones become the common place, why should any one steal them. Honestly its a 18th century person using horse carriages saying cars becoming common will lead to rampant car theft. If something is freely available the motivation to steal it drops.
- tedunangst 13y agoSeems better than leaving the package sitting in front of the door for several hours.
- fallinghawks 13y agoOne well-placed shot from a pellet rifle could bag you a drone and a cookware set.
- Tiktaalik 13y agoMy first thought is that knocking drones out of the sky (not necessarily to steal their contents) could become the new fun activity for bored juvenile delinquents.
- e1l1 13y agoNot just juvenile delinquents. I am well into my 40s, and I am not sure I am going to be able to resist take a shot at them.
