PROS AND CONS
SPEED: Drones are not stuck in traffic jams or
queues or lines as they can avoid transportation
infrastructure. Does not require human
intervention and the process can be automated
over time with machine learning based
investment.
SAVING: Drones consume less energy
per(package) than delivery trucks, the
additional warehouse energy required and
the longer distances travelled by drones
per package greatly increase the life-cycle
impacts
REAL TIME TRACKING: One of the major benefits
of GPS tracking is that a business can view vehicle
progress in real time. Such updates put a business
in direct control of vehicles en route, allowing the
company to make better decisions and improve
customer service.
PAYLOAD: Amazon’s beta testing is limited to
packages weighing less than five pounds. Any
packages bigger or heavier will mean a larger
drone, which also requires larger battery life.
SIGHT OF OPERATION: in rural and suburban
areas to investigate what happens to things the
drone can’t see outside its camera range going
mainstream will require widespread adoption of
transportation rules that authorise flight beyond
line of visual sight.
PACKAGE RETURN : Pick up packages from
businesses selling goods on Amazon and ship
them to consumers, pick up packages from
