Challenges amazon prime air will face

Children: ensuring the drone has safe guardes in place to make the landing procedure aware of children

Pets: for curious dogs that want to play, perhaps a dog whistle equivalent frequency could be employed.

Weather: some conditions will likely make drone air delivery temporarily unavailable, a system will need to be put in place to monitor weather on the flight pathes of the drones.

Drone recovery procedures: With thousands of drones flying hundreds of thousands of hours there will surely be failure mid-flight. The AI of the drone will need sub routines to limit damage from a drone experiencing flight failure. Also there will need to be a procedure in place to recover a drone that has failed to make delivery or failed to return from delivery. Perhaps a larger tow drone.

Bird avoidance: with thousands of drones making deliveries in a city the likelihood of encountering wildlife will be much greater than the hobyest level of drone usage today. Similar to the dog whistle a predatory bird call might be usefull to redirect birds. 

Awareness of surroundings: as well as GPS and landing sensors the drone will need some manor of optical awareness to identify the above listed hazards. 

Response to abuse/vandalism/theft: the technology present on smart phones that allow them to transmit their location and pictures of their surroundings should be sufficient. The difficulty will probably lie in automating the trigger to initiate the theft theft/or vandalism procedures. 

Legal response for drone damage: precident will need to be established for legal recourse when an individual damages the drone, and when the drone damages an individuals property or person. 

Amazon will need to build a system into the amazon prime air application process to allow customers to define the landing area for their package.

Appartments and high-density housing will pose unique delivery challenges. Perhaps the drones could become precise enough to deliver to a balcony.   

Airspace availability will sometimes change. The servers that define the drone flight pathes will need dynamic definable airspace. 

For civil disasters Amazon should be prepaired to have their drone fleet commandeered by civil authorities for disaster response. This could be a tremendous source of public trust and highly lucrative if Amazon is smart with how it leverages this resource politically. 

I can't wait to see this system in action!

A few things already in the works: Tacos by quadcopter!
