Deliveries using drones or robots are a goal many online shopping sites are aiming for in the near future. Among these companies, Amazon has sought to be a pioneer and began making deliveries with drones. However, during pilot testing, they encountered a very serious issue. So, what exactly is the problem that caused Amazon’s drone delivery system to fail? Here are the details…
Customers: When Amazon delivers with drones, it sounds like a swarm of bees is coming towards us!
As is well known, drones and similar unmanned aerial vehicles are quite noisy machines. Due to their wing structure, these machines produce significant noise, disturbing many people around them. Just thinking about the noise level of a delivery drone, considering how loud even smaller drones can be, is unsettling.
This problem, especially concerning in quiet places like seaside towns, was first noticed in Amazon’s pilot test region, College Station, Texas. John Case, who works in the area, mentioned in an interview with CNBC that the drones used for deliveries sound like a swarm of bees.
Ford has patented a drone takeoff and landing platform that can be integrated into pickup trucks. So, how does it work?
At first, this sound may not seem bothersome. However, imagine your home being in a busy area. Hearing the buzzing noise of Amazon drones every five minutes would be quite irritating. Amazon, confident in this delivery method, wants to expand its operational area. However, complaints about the noise are hindering the company’s progress.
Amazon responded by saying they take pride in every delivery and satisfied customer, and they are aware of the noise issue. What do you think about this topic?
