In the last decade, technology for unmanned aerial devices has increased substantially. The technology has gotten to the point of which companies are looking into using unmanned vehicles for their own use. The most recent and famous company: Amazon. Amazon released a commercial in 2014 that showed a multi-rotor delivering a package to a house without ever interacting with a person. They released this commercial showing a hopeful idea that many people don't believe can happen.
The drone showed in the video has been named the Amazon Prime Air delivery system. During this week, the FAA or Federal Aviation Administration has given Amazon the all clear to test their aerial system. Many people have low expectations from the system. The technology is still not even close to being possible to deliver packages any further than about a mile. Batteries for even the
lightest, most efficient multi-rotor a can only last about 15 minutes.
