Amazon is set to trial home deliveries from its testing ground in Darlington, which is among the most economically-deprived areas of the UK. Consider the following: the Goodyear airships in the US are shot at ~ with guns ~ on a regular basis for the joy of it. Second, any number of youths in the UK are paid to do nothing. Third, a trend in the UK is to take out birds using high-powered catapults. Fourthly Amazon is like Ryanair, in being a company people use because they have to and not for love of it.
eBike rentals failed altogether in the UK anywhere north of Oxford, as they tended to get stolen or tipped in the canal; expect then to see the above being taken out soon on a screen near you.
Are they listening? No, because those working on the project have all got well-paid jobs.
The catapults in question are wholly unregulated and fire ball-bearings at a velocity of 350 feet per second ~ think of them as Amazon-primed and ready.
