This month an autonomous drone made a 13-minute flight over the British countryside to drop off an Amazon television-streaming stick and a bag of popcorn to a customer near Cambridge.
上个月,一架自动无人机在英国乡村上空飞行13分钟,给一位剑桥附近的客户递送了一部亚马逊(Amazon)流媒体电视棒和一袋爆米花。
At one level, the delivery was little more than a quirky publicity stunt to demonstrate the potential of technology. But it also confirmed Amazon’s deadly serious intent to develop a delivery infrastructure that could yet revolutionise the logistics industry.
从一个层面来看,这次投递只是一次新奇的宣传手段,展示了科技的潜力。但它也证实,亚马逊极其严肃的开发递送基础设施的意愿可能会给物流行业带来革命。
“I know this looks like science fiction. It’s not,” Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, told a television interviewer in 2016, revealing the company’s drones programme. “It will work, and it will happen, and it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”
“我知道这看上去像是科幻小说。并非如此。”亚马逊创始人杰夫•贝索斯(Jeff Bezos)在2016年的一次电视采访中透露了该公司的无人机计划,他告诉采访者,“它是可行的,它会实现的,它会带来很多乐趣。”
The holy grail of the logistics industry has always been to solve the “last mile” challenge, the trickiest and most expensive link in the delivery chain. Amazon Prime Air could be part of the solution. Drone operators claim their deliveries can be quicker, safer and greener than most other options.
