AND FINALLY: Delivery by drone?

The boffins at Amazon claim to have been working on a new delivery system designed to get packages into customers' hands in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles…

The system, dubbed ‘Prime Air’, is apparently some years away and Amazon says it needs to “advance the technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations.”

Check out this footage from a recent test flight: http://youtu.be/98BIu9dpwHU

We await the day when a card drops through your letter box saying “we’ve been unable to make a delivery because the drone carrying your package was shot down for infringing airspace”!
