Bezos was probably chuckling as he outlined the “plan”, even noting they’d have to get FAA approval. Now if he was developing military drones, and seeking airspace, no problemo!
I was more concerned about all the push to create “totally self-driving” cars and putting them on the road. I don’t have a problem with the vehicles sounding a warning of an accident ahead, but do NOT want a car putting on the brakes for me! Even WITH computers, it should be noted you don’t want cruise control on in ice and snow conditions. Also, the Porsche involved in the actor’s death over the weekend was previously owned by Graham Rahall, he sold it in large part because the traction control stank, didn’t work right, and could KILL YOU!
But hey, these new systems will “ONLY” add $8,000 to the cost of the “average” car!!
