Drones Revolutionizing Agriculture
Drones are changing the face of agriculture -CapX
The end of crop spraying pilots as a nomadic tribe - just as pipeline inspecting drones are decimating the field? And in logging, logistics etc. Let a,one the report I saw today of Amazon looking at putting "roosts" on street lights etc for their drones to land and drop off deliveries... http://uk.businessinsider.com/amazon...tations-2016-7 |
It's happening here. Up until about 3 years ago we had a clutch of helicopters fly in for crop spraying. For the past 3 years we've had 3 men with two vans and two seriously serious radio-controlled helicopters (Yamahas IRRC). It makes sense here as fields and individual landholdings are very small. A few hectares at most.

Google suggests a typical Amazon warehouse processes 35 orders per second. Thats a lot of drones even if only 1% go by drone or one drone delivers multiple orders.

Good luck with that one - the street light replacement programmes currently under way in the UK are putting in columns that are just about strong enough to take the lights. An undercover operation to steal the shorts of an awful lot of ISP companies... |

And name a UK council which won't bite Amazons arm off if they offer to replace and pay for their street lights and pick up the electricity bill?

Even cheaper, they just have to offer them a cheaper deal without the hassle of involving he public....
