Amazon Reveals Drone Beehive Concept
Amazon’s race to be the first trillion dollar company may change the way our skies look forever. Fresh off a $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods, the online retail empire has launched this. Futuristic drone beehives are designed to blend in with other high-rise buildings, spinning existing landmarks into Amazon’s coming drone delivery web. The difference? We’re looking at the beginning of a colony that will fill future skies with thousands of semi-intelligent drones sending kale and boxers to your doorstep.
Amazon’s drone beehives are designed to work as an integration center for its ambition all-terrain rewiring of how delivery works. the company's leadership is describing the innovation as a “multilevel fulfillment center for unmanned aerial vehicles,”. The hives will be able to receive product shipments by truck with a self-service station where customers could pick up packages in person. This will complete the merger point between PrimeAir trucks, it’s ambitions drone spitting zeppelins, the net and consumers. Of course, with the acquisition of Whole Foods, the implications for drone delivered groceries are promising. So how did we get to this point?
Amazon’s seemingly random spouts of new dystopian concepts appear to be part of a singular cohesive plan reinvention for what we call delivery today. First, Amazon announced successfully tested a drop-off in a move that was called a gimmick among other things. Then Amazon announced the launch of almost cartoon villain style drone spitting zeppelins to serve as warehouse in the sky. Then we heard the announcement of drone airports on the ground. More recently the launch of an intelligent drone traffic system capable of mid flight problem solving, perception and detection of obstacles. Landmarks that will serve as the nucleus of it all. Can you see the bigger picture?
