A recent internal Drone delivery video (via Engadget) that was made public on YouTube a few days ago shows the Netflix interpretation of how drone delivery might work – albeit with a more humorous and more dystopian take than Amazon’s highly polished vision of Prime Air. Suffice to say, in the Netflix parody video, side effects of home delivery by flying robot might include being engulfed in a fiery explosion.
The funniest thing about this whole video is that it’s clearly a joke, and yet drone delivery of frequent shipping items like DVD rentals actually makes at least as much sense as Amazon putting real R&D into that area. Plus, urinal-side delivery pretty much tops the list in terms of my top 5 needs for real-world convenience features.
