Amazon proposes a slice of the sky for commercial drones
Amazon on Tuesday laid out a proposal for how to regulate commercial drones in the US, suggesting that the government set aside a 200-foot-high stretch of the sky for the devices. The concept, presented at a NASA-hosted conference in the San Francisco Bay Area on unmanned aircraft systems, would designate the airspace at an altitude of between 200 feet and 400 feet as a high-speed transit area for commercial drones -- such as the delivery drones Amazon is developing -- with a no-fly buffer… (www.cnet.com) 更多...

Amazon would like to take what they do not own. The space above my land is for my quiet enjoyment of my property. Amazon can navigate on city streets. With a truck.
You got that right. Why is a drone any different than any other aircraft? Fly below 400 only over land you own or have permission to use. Screw Amazon.
Where is all the bandwidth going to come from so that these drones can communicate with each other and a central control point? The airwaves are already crowded and wireless companies are fighting for more and more all the time.
Who is going to develop the security protocols to ensure they are not hacked or spoofed.
Unless someone develops an inexpensive mm wave transceiver in the very near future this is never going to fly. Pun intended.

Wonder if we'll need a hunting license for drone season?
Apparently, they don't know the definition nor boundaries of Class B airspace.
or Class C, for that matter.
Well, you have that matter of regulated airspace and also cannot forget that GA is VFR and uncontrolled up to 10,000'. They kinda act like Uber, cause it's them, they can do what they want. It may not be right but somewhere down the line, we better get ready for it.
The problem however, is that if they want to make a delivery in Class B airspace, and if the delivery location is in a shelf where the floor is SFC, the drone would effectively need 2-way radio comms established plus the clearance to enter Class B airspace for them to make the delivery.
Class C would be the same, except only 2-way comms need to be established. For example: How would Amazon fly this drone to make a delivery at UNLV in Las Vegas? The airspace there is Class B, from SFC to 10000ft MSL. these drones would need 2-way comms established and a clearance to enter that airspace.

Well, it's like I said. They are kinda like Uber, figuring that because it's them, all those silly little regulations would not apply.
