"A waste of cardboard toys!" Foreign media calls Amazon drone delivery a joke

On November 7, the American technology website "Business Insider" published an article saying: "So far, Amazon's drone delivery is a joke"

According to reports, Amazon’s drone delivery has begun pilots in American communities, including Texas and California. However, unlike the scenario envisioned by technology companies 10 years ago, achieving scale will take a long time

According to reports, each Amazon drone can only carry one item for delivery at a time. The weight of the item cannot exceed 5 pounds (about 2.27 kilograms), and there are also restrictions on size and texture. Additionally, drones cannot operate in bad weather. Av Zammit, a spokesman for Amazon, said that currently the company's drone delivery project only operates in clear weather. However, the new drone MK30 will be put into use next year and is said to be able to fly in light rain, high and low temperatures

The report also pointed out that Amazon’s drones have limitations in their transportation capabilities, and sometimes small items like peanut butter can only be packed in boxes the size of shoeboxes. Some customers have questioned its practicality, with one saying "the drone is more like a toy and wastes a lot of paper and cardboard."
