Amazon unveils Prime Air drones on 60 minutes, aims to deliver in half an hour (video)


Amazon CES Jeff Bezos took to 60 minutes to reveal the company's latest delivery method: drones. These bots would be capable of delivering packages up to five pounds (86 percent of orders are apparently under that), with the aim of getting them to your house in under half an hour. The system is called Prime Air and the octo-copter drones, which wait, ready to deliver, at the end of conveyor belts, have a range of 10 miles. No specific dates just yet but there's a video of them in action after the break.
