Yea, It wouldn't be ready/approved till about 2020. I would use It that's for sure, I already hate having to wait for overnight shipping

2020 seems to be a year a lot of new stuff Is suppose to come out.

Total publicity stunt. Notice how they planned this for the biggest online shopping weekend of the year? Completely unpractical, even if they technology was there.

That would be something new, but I'm pretty confident that is only publicity.

Just stop a think about it for a minute...

Drone hunting would become a national (illegal) sport...
Drone treasure hunters would sprout like flowers

I really don't think that's anything else other than publicity, and if they were going to go ahead. I'd say it would not be the smartest move, the world is just not ready for that, mentally and physically.
