Welcome to a Monday edition of WHAT THE TRUCK?!?. Coming off a masterful weekend in Chattanooga, hosts Malcolm Harris and Michael Vincent are back to break down the biggest headlines in freight, from the "sexiness" of cargo theft stats to the reality of Amazon's drone ambitions. While headlines are buzzing with $1,000,000 Lego heists and stolen Kit Kats, the guys look at the actual math. Statistically, freight fraud and theft account for only 0.0036% of freight moved in North America. We discuss why this "sexy" topic gets so much airtime and how technology from companies like Highway is driving necessary trust factors in the industry. Amazon is ramping up Prime Air, aiming to deliver 500 million packages annually by the end of the decade. Michael Vincent isn't buying the hype, questioning the efficiency and safety of "dropping a fragile vase 20 feet out of the ass of a drone" just to satisfy consumer demand for faster delivery Anna Falcon, VP of Customer Experience at MCA Connect, joins the show to discuss why manufacturers must move beyond "boring widgets" to holistic customer strategy. David Long, VP of Product Management at Fleetworthy, pulls back the curtain on the "illusion of data". Many fleets think they have a handle on accidents, but fragmented spreadsheets won't stand up in court. David introduces Legal Lock, a feature that creates an immutable, time-stamped record of an accident to protect a fleet's credibility during litigation.

Il 2025 ci ha lasciato in eredità molto più di un connettore unico per caricare i telefoni o qualche timore in più sulla nostra privacy, è stato l'anno in cui l'Intelligenza Artificiale è diventata uno strumento integrato ovunque, dai documenti di testo alle nostre email. In questa prima puntata del 2026 riflettiamo su alcuni macro temi che potrebbero emergere nel corso dei prossimi 12 mesi, tra cui lo sviluppo della Generative UI, dell'uscita di GTA 6 e delle sue ambizioni di possibile metaverso, del ridimensionamento di Meta sulla realtà virtuale, della battaglia sulla pirateria in Italia e dei rischi tecnici e giuridici associati. Approfondiamo anche la sospensione del lancio dei droni di Amazon nel nostro Paese e di cosa questo rivela sul contrasto tra promesse tecnologiche e realtà normativa, fino al ridimensionamento dei programmi spaziali della NASA e al crescente ruolo dei privati nell'esplorazione spaziale.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo di Google che finalmente permetterà di modificare l'indirizzo email, della decisione di Amazon di rinunciare al lancio di Prime Air in Italia e della frammentazione normativa americana sulla tecnologia.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:06 - Google permetterà di modificare l'email (IlSole24Ore.com, Luca Martinelli)02:29 - Prime Air rinuncia all'Italia (DDay.it, Matteo Gallo)03:40 - La frammentazione normativa americana sulla tecnologia (TheVerge.com, Davide Fasoli)05:13 - Cosa aspettarsi dal 2026 (Davide Fasoli)15:10 - Conclusione--Testo--Leggi la trascrizione: https://www.dentrolatecnologia.it/S8E1#testo--Contatti--• www.dentrolatecnologia.it• Instagram (@dentrolatecnologia)• Telegram (@dentrolatecnologia)• YouTube (@dentrolatecnologia)• redazione@dentrolatecnologia.it--Immagini--• Foto copertina: Freepik--Brani--• Ecstasy by Rabbit Theft• Whatever by Cartoon & Andromedik

Phillip Cooke, a pilot for Air Transport International (ATI), shares his journey from flight simulation enthusiast to professional aviator. Growing up with a passion for aviation, inspired by his father, he started with a PVC pipe yoke before diving into flight simulators. He earned his private pilot license and attended ATP Flight School in Long Beach, CA. His career path took him through flying the PC-12 for a small charter company, then the Cessna Caravan 208, before moving on to SkyWest. Before completing training at SkyWest, an opportunity at ATI arose, leading him to fly the Boeing 757/767 for Prime Air cargo operations. Beyond real-world flying, Phillip is deeply involved in VR-based flight simulation, investing in a high-end setup to stay sharp. He discusses how flight sim technology is an invaluable tool for pilots, offering realistic training at a fraction of the cost of real-world flying. He also participates in online multiplayer ATC environments, simulating real-world airline operations, including long-haul FedEx routes with real NOTAMs and weather conditions. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How flight simulation can develop and maintain real-world flying skills The benefits of VR flight sim for pilot training and situational awareness Phillip's aviation career path from small charters to flying 757/767s for ATI Insights into the world of cargo flying and working with Prime Air How gamification and career modes in flight sim can enhance training and engagement #Aviation #AviationCareers #pilotcareer #pilottips #pilotcareertips #aviationcrew #AviationJobs #AviationLeadership #flying #PilotSuccess #pilotpodcast #PilotPreparation #Pilotrecruitment #AviationEducation #AviationOpportunities #AviationPodcast #flyingtips #AirlineInterviewPrep #PilotDevelopment #PilotFinance #PilotExperience #PilotTraining

In 2013, Amazon founder and then CEO Jeff Bezos told 60 Minutes that his company would be delivering packages via DRONE within 5 years. It took a little bit longer… but not much. Since December 2022, customers in College Station, Texas have been able to get small packages delivered by unmanned Amazon aircrafts. And last week, Amazon announced that the FAA has authorized its drone program, called Prime Air, to fly even farther, beyond the view of human operators. Amazon joins Google's subsidiary Wing, and companies like UPS and Zipline, which have already received similar approval from the FAA.

Welcome to your weekly news update, we have 4 stories for you this week, Amazon loses Head of Safety and Flight operations, FAA and NASA conduct UTM Field Test, Skyebrowse introduces pay-per-model, and the FPVFC releases a FRIA map. Your first story this week is Amazon, who keeps losing people. Sean Cassidy, the head of Safety, flight operations, and regulatory affairs has reportedly left the company. Cassidy, a former Alaska Airlines Pilot, joined Amazon in 2015 to assist Prime Air through the process of obtaining FAA approvals. Amazon received their Part 135 certificate in August of 2020, and deliveries began this year. Over the last year, amazon has had a number of lay-offs including one in January and has lost a number of key players. Amazon hasn't released any statement or status on their deliveries in the past few months, but we'll keep you updated if we see any updates. Next up this week is the FAA and NASA, who have conducted a UTM field test. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of unmanned traffic management, it's a system that allows a UAS operator to reserve a portion of the airspace for a particular time. These “reservations” would assist with deconfliction between UAS traveling at or below 400' in uncontrolled airspace. The test included flights of varying complexity levels, verifying standards, evaluating UTM systems, testing FAA integration with USS, and testing the real world application of all these systems working with ones another. Data collected from the UTM field test is expected to be used by policymakers to enable low-altitude operations, particularly those that will operate beyond line of sight. If you'd like to read the full report, we'll add a link in the description! Third up this week is Skyebrowse, who is now offering a pay-per model version of their software! Models start at just $3 per model and vary based on the size of the video file. Pay per models will allow you to unlock features, such as download or measurements, that are not available in the “freemium” subscription plan. This works with older models, and we were able to use a model from 2021 and access these tools! Alright, and last up this week is a map of FRIAs! Due to the UAS Facility maps not containing information about FRIA, Alex Suarez has created a map that contains the locations of approved FRIAs. The map is color coded to differentiate between the 4 CBOs, and for FPVFC, FTCA, and STEMC FRIAs, has precise boundaries. Great job Alex! Alright, that's all we've got, have a great week and we'll see you on Monday for the live! Last week, I was on vacation and @wolfpack4694 asked the team if they would do a video talking about how mean I am. The thing is, I'm really not mean, so they had to make stuff up, and let's just say they had a little too much fun with it. Take a look, enjoy! https://www.skyebrowse.com/blog/2023/12/12/introducing-pay-per-model https://www.faa.gov/uas/advanced_operations/traffic_management/UFT-Final-Report.pdf https://www.faa.gov/uas/research_development/traffic_management/field_test https://dronexl.co/2023/12/07/faa-nasa-utm-field-test/ https://dronexl.co/2023/12/12/prime-air-shakeup-cassidy-amazon-exit/ https://www.friamap.com/
Amazon will soon make prescription drugs fall from the sky when the e-commerce giant becomes the latest company to test drone deliveries for medications. The company said that customers in College Station, Texas, can now get prescriptions delivered by a drone within an hour of placing their order. The drone, programmed to fly from a delivery center with a secure pharmacy, will travel to the customer's address, descend to a height of about four meters — or 13 feet — and drop a padded package. Amazon says customers will be able to choose from more than 500 medications, a list that includes common treatments for conditions like the flu or pneumonia, but not controlled substances. The company's Prime Air division began testing drone deliveries of common household items last December in College Station and Lockeford, California. Amazon spokesperson Jessica Bardoulas said the company has made thousands of deliveries since launching the service, and is expanding it to include prescriptions based in part on customer requests. Amazon announced it will also launch drone delivery at a third U.S. location and cities in Italy and the United Kingdom by the end of next year. The company said it will disclose the exact locations in the coming months. Amazon Prime already delivers some medications from the company's pharmacy within two days. But pharmacy Vice President John Love said that doesn't help someone with an acute illness like the flu. “What we're trying to do is figure out how can we bend the curve on speed,” he said. Amazon Pharmacy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vin Gupta says the U.S. healthcare system generally struggles with diagnosing and treating patients quickly for acute illnesses, something that was apparent throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Narrowing the window between diagnosis and treating makes many treatments more effective, he said. Amazon also unveiled a new drone called MK30 that, by the end of next year, will replace the drones it currently uses to deliver packages. The company says the new drone flies further, is smaller and quieter, and also has enhanced delivery capabilities. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The idea of 'a machine that thinks' dates back to ancient Greece times, but since the advent of electronic computing and the overwhelming amount of data generated by the human race in the last 50 years, the realisation of intelligent machines that can think like humans has been almost tangible. In 1950 Alan Turing published his seminal work Computing Machinery and Intelligence. In the paper, Turing proposed to answer the question "Can machines think?" and introduced the Turing Test to determine if a computer could demonstrate the same intelligence as a human. In 1956 John McCarthy coined the term 'artificial intelligence' at the first-ever AI conference at Dartmouth College saying Artificial intelligence, " …is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable." Today, there is a great deal of hype surrounding AI systems and intelligent machine development, which is of course to be expected of any new emerging technology. But what exactly is AI and what does it mean for the world of mechanical engineering? In this I2I podcast special, Helen speaks with Neil Lawrence and Alan King about what AI and machine learning is all about, what their uses will be, and how engineers will benefit from using these systems in their working environments. Professor Neil Lawrence is the inaugural DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge, Senior AI Fellow at The Alan Turing Institute, and Visiting Professor of Machine Learning, University of Sheffield. He received his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southampton in 1994 and spent his early career as a field engineer on oil rigs in the North Sea. He has been working on machine learning models for over 20 years and recently returned to academia after three years as Director of Machine Learning at Amazon where he worked on deploying machine learning solutions for Prime Air, Alexa and the Amazon supply chain. Alan King is Head of Global Membership Strategy at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He joined IMechE as a Business Development Executive in 2004 with a background in both engineering and business. His father, both an engineer and joint owner of an engineering firm, introduced Alan to engineering at an early age and he then combined his fascination for the subject with an interest in business at university, studying for a Master's in International Business. As the Head of Global Membership Strategy, Alan supports the development of IMechE's comprehensive 5-year strategy. Collaborating with organisations worldwide, his team delivers exceptional support to IMechE members while crafting engaging membership marketing content for pivotal campaigns throughout the year. Alan is now focusing his attention on how Artificial Intelligence could enhance both member services and support staff in their everyday tasks within the IMechE. He also recently wrote a fascinating article for Institution News on the practical applications of AI and Machine Learning in the engineering sector.

We're going to cover an example of what happens at low altitude when pilots activate the Take Off/Go Around or TOGA switch by mistake. When there's turbulence and a lack of situational awareness, this can be deadly as you'll hear. A number of aircraft recently have crashed because of pilots inadvertently activating this switch and I'm going to explain how this can happen if you're not paying attention – and if the crew are prone to panic. One of the incidents involved a cargo flight – and Herman who's an avid listener suggested I do a few cargo plane crashes for a number of reasons. While there are no passengers involved, or very few, sometimes the cargo itself is the danger, and in the case we'll hear this episode, it is believed that was a failure to check the stated credentials of a commercial pilot could have exacerbated the situation that led to the crash involving a Boeing 767 flown by Amazon's Prime Air. It never made it in on February 23rd 2019, the Boeing 767-375ER crashed on approach into Trinity Bay near Houston, killing two crew members and a pilot hitching a lift in the jump seat. It's also the first crash involving a 767-375ER Cargo plane. As you're going to hear, flight crew training issues at Atlas Air and across the U.S. commercial aviation industry have been implicated in this accident.

News: Serum from hibernating black bears boosts muscle mass in human cells | New Atlas (01:16) The incredible ability of bears to hibernate for months at a time has inspired some interesting lines of research around how their secrets might benefit human health, and among them is a focus on muscle wasting. First let's talk about bear hibernation: The main difference between hibernation and torpor is during torpor, the animal is able to wake up quickly to avoid danger, or if the opportunity exists, exit the den to feed. Hibernation is a voluntary state an animal enters to conserve energy, when food is scarce, and minimize exposure to the winter elements. During hibernation an animal lowers its body temperature, slows its breathing rate, heart rate, and metabolic rate-the rate its body uses energy. Bears technically do not hibernate, they enter a state similar to it called topor. Fun fact: Bears can sleep more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste! Bears can actually turn their pee into protein. Scientists in Japan have made a fascinating discovery in this space:Demonstrating how human muscle cells can be infused with serum from hibernating black bears to prevent atrophy and increase muscle mass. This new study focused on skeletal muscle, which is susceptible to wasting caused by immobility.Led by scientists at Hiroshima University and Hokkaido University The research team took cultured human skeletal muscle cells and infused them with serum drawn from the blood of hibernating black bears, which led to significant protein growth after 24 hours.Interestingly, serum collected during the bears' active summer season did not induce these same effects. Believe this is due to a factor in the hibernating bear serum that suppresses a "destruction mechanism" behind muscle degradation Study first-author Mitsunori Miyazaki, stated:“We have indicated that ‘some factor' present in hibernating bear serum may regulate protein metabolism in cultured human skeletal muscle cells and contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass … However, the identification of this 'factor' has not yet been achieved." Doing so could open up some exciting possibilities around protecting humans during deep space travel, or preventing muscle wastage in people who are immobile due to aging or disease. Alzheimer's Breakthrough: Genetic Link to Gut Disorders Confirmed | Neuroscience News (08:18) A world-first Edith Cowan University (ECU) study has confirmed the link between the two, which could lead to earlier detection and new potential treatments.The findings add to the evidence the gut-brain axis may play a role in the development of neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer's Disease (AD), has no known curative treatments and is expected to affect more than 82 million people and is estimated to cost US$2 trillion by 2030. The study analyzed large sets of genetic data from AD and several gut-disorder studies – each of about 400,000 people.The first comprehensive assessment of the genetic relationship between AD and multiple gut disorders. They discovered people with AD and gut disorders have genes in common – which is important for many reasons. Research lead Dr Emmanuel Adewuyi explains:“The study provides a novel insight into the genetics behind the observed co-occurrence of AD and gut disorders … This improves our understanding of the causes of these conditions and identifies new targets to investigate to potentially detect the disease earlier and develop new treatments for both types of conditions.” When researchers conducted further analysis into the shared genetics, they found other important links between AD and gut disorders – such as the role cholesterol may play. Dr Adewuyi provides context:“Whilst further study is needed into the shared mechanisms between the conditions, there is evidence high cholesterol can transfer into the central nervous system, resulting in abnormal cholesterol metabolism in the brain… For example, elevated cholesterol in the brain has been linked to brain degeneration and subsequent cognitive impairment.” The research also indicated diet could play a part in treating and preventing AD and gut disorders. There is a need for more studies and patients need to be assessed individually to judge whether they would benefit from cholesterol lower medication use. This solar tower makes jet fuel from sunbeams, water, and gas | PopSci (14:43) For the past several years, researchers from several different institutions in Switzerland and Germany have been using it to test a method to create propellantnormally a carbon-intensive process involving fossil fuels They use little more than sunlight and greenhouse gasses captured from the atmosphere. What happens inside their tower is a bit of chemistry known as the Fischer-Tropsch process.A collection of chemical reactions that converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen or water gas into liquid hydrocarbons. These reactions occur in the presence of metal catalysts Typically at temperatures of 150–300 °C (302–572 °F) Pressures of one to several tens of atmospheres. So what does this structure tucked away in a Madrid suburb actually do?169 solar reflectors concentrate blinding sunlight —on average, 2,500 times brighter than the sun— to the top of a tower. It hits a porous ceramic box made from cerium, the rare-earth element number 58 That draws water and carbon dioxide from the air and splits their atoms into hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide. The newly created gasses sink to the bottom of the tower, where they enter a shipping container that carries out the Fischer-Tropsch reactions. The end result is fossil-fuel-free kerosene, produced by pulling carbon dioxide from the air. The researchers say it can be pumped into fuel tanks, today, without issue. According to Aldo Steinfeld, an engineer at ETH Zürich in Switzerland, meeting the entire aviation's sector would require solar kerosene plants to cover an area of around 17,500 square miles, roughly the size of Estonia. That's large!!! Steinfeld looks at it differently: A relatively small parcel of a sparsely inhabited hot desert could supply all the world's planes. The next steps are to make the process more efficient. Right now, a meager 4.1 percent of the solar energy striking the ceramic box actually goes into making gas. The researchers think they could considerably boost that number. Prime Air: Amazon officially rolls out drone delivery to customers | ZDNet (21:06) After years of development announcements, Amazon will be rolling out delivery by drone for Prime customers in areas of California and Texas.Lockeford, California, and College Station, Texas. Amazon will join Walmart in offering limited drone delivery to a subset of customers, signaling a vote of confidence in the technology and a shifting regulatory environment from the two behemoth retailers. The service, called Prime Air, will deliver packages up to five pounds in less than an hour using drones. Fly up to 50 miles per hour (80km/hour), up to an altitude of 400ft, and can carry packages of up to 5lbs. Created a proprietary sense-and-avoid system that enables Amazon drones to operate at greater distances while safely and reliably avoiding other aircraft, people, pets, and obstacles. Amazon is reaching out to customers in both locations to give them an option to receive free and fast drone delivery on what's billed as the largest selection of items ever to be available for drone delivery.Once onboarded, customers will see Prime Air-eligible items on Amazon Place an order as they normally would and receive an estimated arrival time The service will start later this year. Despite the limited rollout, the company's long-term vision is to create a drone delivery service that will scale and integrate into its vast fulfillment network. Naturally, there's a lot more riding on these drones.A crash or injury involving an Amazon drone will receive heavy scrutiny. End it off with the end of Amazon's press release:“We're bringing more than drone delivery to Lockeford and College Station. Through these Prime Air drone deliveries, we will create new jobs, build partnerships with local organizations, and help to reduce the impact of climate change on future generations.” A brain-computer startup beat Elon Musk's Neuralink to implanting its first device in a US patient | Yahoo (26:02) Synchron, a brain-computer interface startup, reportedly implanted its first device in a US patient earlier this month — overtaking Elon Musk's Neuralink for the third time.The startup implanted a 1.5-inch device into the brain of an ALS patient at Mount Sinai West medical center in New York on July 6 The purpose of the device is to allow the patient to communicate — even after they have lost the ability to move — by using their thoughts to send emails and texts. Should mention this company has already implanted the device in four patients in Australia who have been able to use the brain implant to send messages on WhatsApp and shop online. Last year, the Australia-based startup received permission from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin human trials on six US patients who have been severely paralyzed.Neuralink has yet to receive FDA approval Synchon and Neuralink's implants have similar immediate applications. translate human thoughts into computer commands could help patients with neurological diseases like Parkinson's or ALS. Neuralink and Synchron's products have several key differences: namely, size and installation. Synchron's device can be inserted into a human skull without cutting into it using a catheter, and the process requires two separate surgeries In contrast, Neuralink plans to make a much smaller and more powerful device that would require a portion of the individual's skull to be removed and would be performed using a robot ----more---- Social: Email Me: adam@thatscoolnew.com Twitter: @Thats_Cool_News

Microsoft announces a new AirSim platform to train drone AI systems, Amazon Prime Air eyes deliveries in Texas, Russia looks at Iranian drones, DJI pushes back against the American Security Drone Act, a UK drone superhighway, and new drones from Alphabet's Wing. UAV News Microsoft launches simulator to train drone AI systems In 2017 Microsoft created the open-source AirSim simulation platform for AI research and experimentation, but a lot of technical machine learning knowledge was needed to use it. Now Microsoft has announced a new Project AirSim platform for teaching autonomous drones to fly. Microsoft is talking with regulators about how AirSim could be used for aircraft certification. Video: Introducing Microsoft Project AirSim for aerial autonomy https://youtu.be/mhEw-fecjQY Microsoft AirSim Amazon's Prime Air drones will soon make deliveries in Texas Amazon says they'll ask College Station residents if they are interested in drone deliveries with plans to start later this year. Mayor Karl Mooney said: "Amazon's new facility presents a tremendous opportunity for College Station to be at the forefront of the development of drone delivery technology. We look forward to partnering with Amazon and Texas A&M and are confident that Amazon will be a productive, conscientious, and accountable participant in our community." The White House says Russian officials visited Iran to view drones for use in Ukraine US intelligence says Russia is interested in obtaining Iranian military drones. Satellite images show Russian officials visiting Iran twice with Shahed-191 and Shahed-129 drones on display and in flight. DJI reportedly making headway against US drone blacklist legislation The Financial Times reports the DJI has been pushing back at the American Security Drone Act (ASDA). That act would prohibit U.S. federal funding from being used to buy Chinese drones, broaden the bans, and make it difficult for a ban to be rescinded. Notably, the bill was not retained in the National Defense Authorization Act passed by the House. Nevertheless, several Republican representatives vowed to make the ASDA law in a final version, or on its own. A 165-Mile Drone Superhighway Will Soon Be Built in the UK Project Skyway is the UK plan to build a 165-mile (265 kilometer) “drone superhighway” up to 10 km wide connecting the airspace above Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, Cambridge, Coventry, and Rugby.

优胜美地国家公园（Yosemite National Park）的官员正在寻求公众帮助，以找出那些在公园内一条受欢迎小径上涂鸦的人。从五月份开始，公园护林员开始收到关于沿着优胜美地瀑布步道（Yosemite Falls Trail）涂鸦的报告。该步道是公园最古老的历史小径之一，可通往北美最高瀑布的顶端。在评估损失时，护林员发现优胜美地瀑布步道沿线约有30处出现白色和蓝色涂鸦。公园官员提供的照片显示，岩石上有“弗雷斯诺”（Fresno）字样以及其它涂鸦，大小从1×1英尺到8×8英尺不等。 国家公园管理局在其网站上表示：“涂鸦是破坏行为，清除涂鸦很难。如果可能的话，修复被破坏的场地既昂贵又耗时，而且通常无法将其恢复原样。” 根据美国联邦法规，禁止破坏、伤害、污损或损坏国家公园财产。破坏国家公园属于联邦轻罪，可判处3至6个月的监禁和高达500美元的罚款。优胜美地国家公园官员在声明中也向公众寻求帮助，如果您在通往优胜美地瀑布顶部的路上看到有人携带喷漆罐、进行标记，或有视频或照片证据，请访问go.nps.gov/SubmitATip告知。知情者也可以发送电邮：nps_isb@nps.gov或888-653-0009。 亞馬遜即將在加州用無人機投送包裹 据FOXLA报导，亚马逊在六月份宣布，洛克福德（Lockeford）的客户将能申请由无人机Prime Air免费派送包裹的服务。选择洛克福德，是因为它与航空业的历史性联系。亚马逊表示，它一直在研究这项技术，所以它的无人机将能够在更远的距离运行，同时安全地避开其它飞机、人员、宠物和障碍物。亚马逊说，居民的客户反馈有助于将服务扩展到其它社区。亚马逊无人机的飞行速度可达每小时50英里，它可以将5磅重的包裹运送到400英尺的高空。一旦有人下订单，无人机就会飞到客户的后院，然后释放包裹，再飞走。自Prime Air成立以来，已经有二十多架无人机原型诞生。
One of the most useful Tweets I've seen in a long time was published over thew weekend by @G_S_Bhogal - in 40 Tweets he explained 40 useful concepts he thinks we should know about..and these are amazing. From the laws of science to problem solving, how to handle trolls and beating procrastination and why powerful people lose their grip of reality - it's an incredible read. Check it out, on the hashtag DigitalMinuteUK. Twitter itself once again faces an uncertain future as Elon Musk's proposed takeover deal looks entirely dead. The 2 sides couldn't come to any sort of agreement about the number of fake accounts on the platform. My opinion is that Musk's 44 billion dollar takeover was a gross over valuation of what the company is actually worth. Up until now, anyone using Meta's virtual reality platform had to use it via a Facebook account. That rule is being ditched from next month, putting some distance between Meta and the Facebook brand. Amazon is to start using electric vans and e cargo bikes to make deliveries in Central London - the new vehicles will work out a central hub and be used for the final mile of deliveries, eventually this will spread across the UK. In America the company is moving ahead with its planned Drone deliveries - Prime Air will take to the skies to deliver packages in Lockeford, California later this year.
Soucieuses d'améliorer l'expédition de leurs marchandises, certaines grandes entreprises, comme Amazon, testent un nouveau procédé : la livraison par drones. La mise au point d'un drone efficace Amazon n'a pas l'intention, pour l'instant, d'étendre la livraison par drones à l'ensemble du pays. L'entreprise étant en effet dans une phase d'expérimentation, elle entend d'abord essayer la méthode dans une seule ville de Californie. Avant de se lancer dans cette expérience, les ingénieurs et techniciens d'Amazon ont mis au point divers prototypes, avant d'arrêter leur choix sur l'un d'entre eux. En effet, il fallait concevoir un drone capable de se mouvoir en évitant les obstacles rencontrés sur son chemin. Ainsi, la course de l'appareil ne devait pas être arrêtée par la présence d'une cheminée ou d'un chien dans le jardin du client. Un service bientôt opérationnel Amazon a donc créé un service de livraison spécifique, baptisé "Prime Air". Pour se faire expédier leurs commandes par la voie aérienne, les clients intéressés devront s'inscrire. Il s'agit d'un service gratuit, permettant au client de faire son choix parmi des milliers de produits. La marchandise sera déposée par le drone dans le jardin de la personne qui l'a commandée, si du moins elle en possède un. les drones pourraient transporter, sur une distance d'un peu plus de 20 kilomètres, des produits pesant un peu plus de 2 kilos. Ils pourraient être placés dans des colis ressemblant un peu à des boîtes à chaussures. Amazon compte sur les réactions de ses clients pour améliorer peu à peu ce service de livraison. Il pourrait aussi s'inspirer de l'exemple du groupe de grande distribution Walmart, qui vient d'annoncer l'extension à 6 États américains de son service de livraison par drones. La société table sur un million de livraisons par an, touchant environ 4 millions de foyers. Les clients pourront passer leurs commandes durant toute la journée et devront payer la livraison. Livrés en une demi-heure, les colis pourront peser jusqu'à 4,5 kg. Désireux de se poser en leader de ce nouveau secteur, Walmart apparaît, dans ce domaine, comme un redoutable concurrent d'Amazon.

A aposta é que ele entre em circulação ainda este ano, na Califórnia -- a princípio, em uma cidade de 3.500 habitantes. A Amazon diz que Lockeford foi escolhida por fazer parte da história da aviação, pois é a cidade de um dos de seus pioneiros, Weldon B. Cooke. E agora seus moradores vão receber produtos em casa em menos de uma hora após a compra, com entrega grátis. Diariamente, às 7h, Felipe Giannetti, sócio da StartSe, traz as principais novidades diretamente do Vale do Silício e reflete sobre o ecossistema de inovação e startups.
This week in drone news, Amazon has apparently been telling the FAA not to investigate drone crashes as they are investigating, a new defense/public safety drone, and a large crop-spraying drone crash in California. It appears that Prime Air has been avoiding FAA crash investigations by claiming the company has the authority to conduct its own investigations At least twice, FAA inspectors have found that Amazon has moved crash evidence and/or inhibited an investigation. At least 8 Amazon drones crashed last year, one sparking a 20 acre wildfire in Oregon. Amazon said that regulatory delays could “Totally Disrupt” the goal timeline of launching Prime Air delivery in 2024. Amazon responded by stating that the company has"has complied with all incident reporting, investigation, and other applicable regulatory requirements," the spokesperson, Kelly Nantel, said. "Over the last seven years, the FAA has never taken an enforcement action against Prime Air, and has awarded us an air carrier certificate to enable commercial deliveries — showing that our comprehensive process has met the FAA's high bar.” https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-prime-air-faa-regulators-investigation-drone-crashes-2022-5 A California Start up named “Realtime Robotics” has released a portable heavy lift drone that they say beats competitors in terms of situational awareness for first responders. The Hera is a backpack-sized drone with a payload capacity of 30lbs and can be outfitted with up to 4 EO/IR cameras. The aircraft can be tethered or untethered with a flight time of 46minutes with a 5lb payload. Realtime Robotics also says the Hera is NDAA compliant. Guessed to be around $25k https://rtrobotics.com/ A large crop splaying aircraft crashed in Winters, CA While news sources say the aircraft had a wing span of 10 feet, an NTSB report states the aircraft make/model, suggesting a wing span of 38 feet, and a MGTOW of 1320lbs. The drone, a Pyka Pelican 7, crashed into a field, and was involved in a post-crash fire. There were no injuries.

On today's show we are talking about getting ahead of demand. We have seen many businesses anticipate continuing growth and no changes to market conditions. It happens in virtually every Industry. Even the most analytical companies in the world can get it wrong. We saw several retail giants experience adverse conditions in the past quarter. Walmart, Target and Amazon were the most visible of these announcements. Amazon surprised Wall Street with its first quarterly loss since 2015. That happens when expenses exceed revenues. So how did Amazon get it wrong? Did they hire too many people? Did they make too many financial commitments? The company has been expanding quickly making investments in expanding their fleet of aircraft with their growing captive airline called Prime Air. They have been growing their network of distribution warehouses and fulfilment centres all over the world. Some of these facilities are company owned, but in fact many are leased from developers who built these giant buildings to Amazon specifications. It seems that Amazon's construction of fulfillment warehouses has gotten ahead of current demand. Amazon spooked investors last month after reporting slowing growth and a weak profit outlook that it attributed to overbuilding during the pandemic when homebound shoppers stormed online. At the end of 2021, Amazon leased 370 million square feet of industrial space in its home market, twice as much as it had two years earlier. ---------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com
无疑，亚马逊是一家伟大的公司。略微了解这家公司的人都知道，它独到的公司管理与经营哲学，永远走在前列的创新产品模式……一直被国内各家大厂津津乐道，深入研究、效仿和执行。其中，最著名“Day 1”（永葆创业精神），会让人想到字节跳动内部反复提倡的核心文化价值观“Always Day 1”；而亚马逊的核心理念“客户至上”，则会让人联想到华为“以客户为中心”的铁律信条；还有亚马逊首创的Prime会员体系，更是让我们想到京东、淘宝88、考拉海购黑卡等一系列国内电商平台的付费会员；以及亚马逊自2017年开始重点运营的Amazon Go无人商店，你是否觉得，国内风生水起的盒马生鲜跟它如出一辙……是的，亚马逊就是这样一家神奇的公司，而上述商业理念和模式，只是冰山一角。这家诞生于1994年，在1997年成功上市的公司，究竟是如何从昔日的小“工作室”变成今天在全球拥有130万员工的商业巨擘？创始人贝索斯用了哪些方法来保证它持续变大、变强的同时，还能长期保持活力？从1998年起，作为亚马逊的CEO，贝索斯每年都会给股东们写一封公开信，到2021年卸任，共计24封。这些信充满了智慧，放在一起是非常宝贵的、实战级别的教科书，对企业的经营者极有启示作用。关于亚马逊如何保持永远创业的精神与活力的奥秘，贝索斯曾在多封信中都有提到，并在2016年的信中进行了集中梳理和分享。今天，清华大学管理学院宁向东教授将带领我们一起阅读这些信件，共同体会贝索斯的商业思维与管理智慧。 一、公司大了， 为什么要永远坚守创业第一天（Day 1）？2015年，亚马逊的员工总数从2010年的3万名发展到23万多名，通过22年的艰苦努力，它已经跻身为世界一流企业。但在2016年的股东信中，贝索斯却大讲特讲“大企业病”，希望亚马逊继续保持创业第一天（Day 1）的活力。这封信令人印象深刻，它很像《华为的冬天》。而这个时间节点，发出这样一封信，更像盛世危言。这封信从一个问题开始。这是在刚刚召开的全员大会上，贝索斯被问到的一个问题：“杰夫，第二天（Day 2）会是什么样子？”其实在信中，贝索斯从四个方面给出了他的思考，或者说就是他的答案。第一，真正地痴迷于客户；第二，拒绝形式化；第三，拥抱外部趋势；第四，高速决策。 二、客户是完美和“贪婪”的， 满足他们就要不断去创造首先，还是“客户至上”。在亚马逊的价值观中，“客户至上”排在第一位。在流行的看法里，取悦客户（delight customers）是大家都认为应该做的事情，在1997年的致股东信中，贝索斯强调了一个新的说法：痴迷于客户（obsess over customers）。他写到：从公司开张之日起，我们就全力盯准客户，为客户创造价值，并且让他们感到这种价值是无可拒绝的。在1998年的致股东的信中，贝索斯再一次强调了他对于客户重要性的认识。他认为亚马逊要力图成为全世界最以客户为中心的公司。而客户是有感知力的、聪明的，品牌必须名副其实，不要和客户耍滑头。同时，他不断地提醒员工要心存敬畏，每天早上要诚惶诚恐地醒来——不是因为竞争对手而惶恐，而是因为客户。只要没有其他什么人可以提供更好的服务，客户就会始终对亚马逊保持忠诚。而在2016年这封“盛世危言”的股东信中，关于“客户至上”，贝索斯说的更多：在疫情中，亚马逊又是如何坚守“客户至上”这个原则的？贝索斯在2020年的股东信中表示，新冠疫情让他们知道了亚马逊对客户的重要性。亚马逊人全天候的工作，把生活必需品送到客户家门口。应对不可预测的新增需求，他们迅速提升家庭的基础必需品、医疗产品和其他关键产品在库存和配送方面的优先级……显然，即使面对疫情这样严峻的挑战，亚马逊依然坚守了自己的价值观。时刻把最好的服务呈现给客户。在某种意义上，这也呼应了亚马逊最核心的价值观——“长期主义”。 三、拒绝形式化管理： 只看数字和指标，很危险拒绝管理的形式化，是贝索斯保持创业第一天状态的第二个答案。当公司小的时候，组织管理会较多地依赖于领导者的直觉。因为公司小，很多东西凭借脑力都可以控制，所以，基于直觉和经验的管理不仅在现实中可以做到，而且也可能高效。而当公司规模大了之后，业务和组织的复杂程度都增加了，客观上公司就要靠制度，靠预算，靠计划指标，靠指标考核。贝索斯说，这些形式化的东西，包括靠数字、靠指标进行管理，很多时候是危险的，这也是“第二天”的标志。他在信中写道：有人经常会说：数字不会欺骗你。仿佛这是个真理，但贝索斯却不这样看。在2005年的股东信中，他也曾讲到过如何看待数据分析：一方面，他大讲亚马逊是如何基于数据分析进行决策；另一方面，他也讲到了要对数据分析进行超越，要善于用大的方向感和判断力取代简单的数据分析。一句话，他认为数据分析是重要的，但数据并不能替代经营理念。2016年的信中，他将自己的看法进一步深化： 四、积极拥抱外部趋势， 公司会顺风顺水保持创业第一天状态的第三个方法，是积极地拥抱外部的变化。贝索斯认为，如果不能有力并且快速地顺应趋势，公司很快就会进入“第二天”；而和趋势对着干，就是赌上了公司的未来。2016年的股东信中，他写道：拥抱外部趋势，我们会顺风顺水。现在，我们正处于一个显而易见的大趋势之中，这就是机器学习和人工智能。在亚马逊，我们涉足机器学习的实际应用已经很多年了。一些工作已经被大家看见，包括我们的 Prime Air 自主运输无人机、使用机器视觉解决结账排队问题的 Amazon Go 无人商店和基于云人工智能来辅助的 Alexa。在 AWS 里，我们降低了使用机器学习和人工智能的成本和门槛，因此，各种规模的组织都能够利用这些先进技术。我们为此感到兴奋。贝索斯的这些描述，告诉了股东亚马逊将怎样拥抱新的趋势，同时也进一步昭示了亚马逊依靠技术创新和发明创造来提升客户体验的长期主义逻辑。同时，亚马逊和贝索斯，也一直关注更大的趋势——“环保与未来”，持续布局环保包装、零碳排放以及气候经济。贝索斯第一次提到环保问题，是在 2013 年的股东信中，有关环保包装。这套体系起始于 2008 年，并在 2014 年正式推出认证计划。2015年，贝索斯的股东信中，除了介绍亚马逊在包装方面的努力，还讲了公司在可再生能源方面的工作，并将这些工作上升到了可持续发展和社会责任的高度。当时间抵达2019年，股东信中关于环保的议题已经有很长的篇幅，亚马逊承诺于2040年实现碳的净零排放。无疑，亚马逊一直在为未来布局和思考，并精心准备着一场蜕变，这场蜕变的意义似乎不亚于当年从线上颠覆线下，以及构建AWS 和云服务体系。2020 年，贝索斯以 CEO 的身份写了最后一封致股东的信。在这封信中，他展示了非常大的格局，气候问题和环境保护被他处理成为一种趋势性的问题。他写道：应对未来的市场的变化与挑战，亚马逊早已充满危机意识，起码提前10年开始着手与布局，你呢？ 五、高速决策，但要拒绝“一刀切”贝索斯认为，保持创业第一天状态的第四个方法是高速决策。但在讨论高速决策之前，我们要先了解亚马逊的决策逻辑。2015年的股东信中，贝索斯详细讲解了此点。他认为大型组织有一个常见的问题——决策“一刀切”，这个顽疾既损害速度，也伤害发明能力。一些决策带来的后果是几乎是不可逆的，他把其称为“第一类决策”，即“单向门”。同时，他也指出，大多数决策是可以改变与可逆的，属于“第二决策”，即“双向门”，并且大多数决策都属于“第二决策”。如果做出第二类决策，但结果没有达到最优，组织不必长期忍受决策的后果，可以重新打开门，退回去。所以，第二类决策可以并且应该交由判断力比较高的个人或者小组快速做出。但随着组织的变大，大多数决策（包括第二类决策），仍然在很大程度上使用第一类决策的过程，其结果不言而喻……“单向门”原则和“双向门”原则，后来成为亚马逊管理活动中的重要内容。2016年的股东信中，贝索斯对亚马逊“决策”逻辑又进一步丰富和深化，明确给出了他的要求：“第二天”的公司可以做出高质量的决策，但它们做出高质量决策的速度很慢。所以，为了保持创立第一天的那种高能和动态的性质，我们要以某种方式做出既有高质量又有高速度的决策。同时，他也明白，这个要求对初创企业并不难，对大型组织却十分有挑战性。但亚马逊高层管理团队下定决心要让决策速度足够快。于是，他继续讲到：在经营中，速度是要紧的，高速决策的氛围也更有趣。对此，我们并不知道所有的答案，但还是有一些想法的。第一，永远不用“一刀切”的决策流程。许多决策是可逆的，是“双向门”，做这些决策就要减少流程性的东西。第二，当你掌握的信息在你期望获得的信息中，比例占到70% 的时候，大概就应该进行决策了。另外，无论通过什么办法，都要善于快速识别坏决策和改正坏决策。如果善于修正路径，犯错误可能会比花时间空想成本要低。慢，肯定是昂贵的。第三，“保留意见，干了再说”（disagree and commit）。在大家看法不一致的时候，肯定没人知道正确的答案是什么。所以，这样和同事提建议，反倒可能很快得到一个肯定的回答。第四，尽早识别真正的失调问题并且立即把矛盾上交。有时候，团队之间有不同的目标和秉持完全不同的观点，在于他们从根本上就不可能取得一致。深层次的失调是无法通过讨论和开会解决的。如果不把矛盾上交，现有的争议解决机制在这种情况下就会引发一场消耗战。结果就是谁能拖，谁就会得到好结果。“谁耗得起，谁胜利”，是一种糟糕的决策流程。它会慢慢地让组织失去能量。这时，尽快地把矛盾上交，结果会更好。其后，在2018 年致股东的信中，贝索斯进一步对亚马逊的决策逻辑进行了说明，他提出要“有好奇心、保持直觉和有徘徊力”的观念，非常有启发性。而这，正是亚马逊能够坚守创业第一天状态的精神内核。
These days, drones are everywhere—from the ones you can buy at your local Costco to news drones giving birds' eye views of sporting events. Soon you'll even be able to get your Amazon deliveries with the company's “Prime Air” drone fleet. So how are we going to stop all of these flying machines from flying into each other?
Amazon want to be plenty of things, the most predictable of which is its ambitions to control America's shipping backbone. The company's efforts to bring users whatever they desire in 24 hours requires movements by land, air and sea. Today, the company broke ground on expanding its airborne ambitions, breaking ground on a three million square-foot Prime Air airport outside Cincinnati (in Kentucky).
This week on The Waves of Tech we discuss the Vtech data breach, Black Friday emails, San Francisco startups, and Prime Air drone. We also cover an instance where an elderly man was forced to take his written drivers test electronically which was not as simple as using a VCR for him.
Companies, the press, and other interested parties have looked at the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for small UAS, and the response has been positive, but there is work to be done. For documents related to the sUAS NPRM, visit regulations.gov and search for Docket FAA-2015-0150. At press time, the Recently Published Rulemaking Documents page still shows the NPRM as pending publication in the Federal Register, but a PDF of the NPRM is available. News FAA's liberal proposed rules win allies in drone business Jon Resnick, Policy and Marketing Representative in Washington for DJI says, "We are very pleased the FAA is taking a reasonable and practical approach to integrating commercial UAS into the National Air Space. We are very encouraged and stand ready to collaborate with the FAA to implement common-sense proposals as quickly as possible." Mark Dombroff, from law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge says, “My concern is that there will be people entering the UAS business who are attracted by the potential economics. This really requires aggressive monitoring and enforcement by the FAA to insure that the rules are observed." With new rules, the FAA and drone industry make up "Drone advocates let out a collective sigh of relief as new commercial drone regulations are more industry-friendly than expected." Fortune says, the “FAA ... is far more in tune with industry needs than many imagined.” They call it “a promising sign.” Matthew Bieschke, president of the UAS America Fund says, “I think the FAA has had a tremendously difficult job to do, and I think what they came out with over the weekend was surprising. It was less conservative than a lot of people in the industry thought it would be.” Lisa Ellman, counsel and co-chair of the UAS Practice Group at the D.C. office of McKenna Long & Aldridge says, “People feared that the new process would look like the Section 333 exemption process up to and including the private pilot's license requirement ... so this is a huge, wonderful thing, this new UAS operator's certificate. It will be relatively easy to get and will make drones broadly accessible.” Brendan Schulman, head of the unmanned aircraft systems practice at New York City-based law firm Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, says there are aspects of the Notice that the FAA got wrong: Limitations on academic research, night flying, and the height limitation. Regarding drone-based delivery, Schulman says in an email to Fortune, “The proposal considers drone delivery to be air carriage subject to heightened regulatory standards outside the UAS proposal. That's a legal distinction that made sense in the manned aircraft era but I am not sure why they are holding on to it. It strikes me as a real blow to Amazon and other companies that have been working on drone delivery projects.” Amazon drone plans shot down by authorities In the proposed regulations, operators of commercial sUAS must fly under “unaided” line of sight and not over people. This makes package delivery impossible. Amazon vice-president of global public policy Paul Misener told CNBC by email, "The FAA needs to begin and expeditiously complete the formal process to address the needs of our business, and ultimately our customers. We are committed to realizing our vision for Prime Air and are prepared to deploy where we have the regulatory support we need." Small UAV Coalition Applauds the FAA'S Release of the Proposed sUAS Rule as a Good First Step for Industry In its press release, the Small UAV Coalition says, “We applaud the FAA for creating a flexible framework that appears to be risk-based, as we have advocated, and focused on the technological capabilities of UAVs, rather than simply adapting a set of rules from those currently governing manned aircraft.” And, “In particular, we support the FAA's proposal not to require an airworthiness certificate for small UAVs, and to eliminate any requirement for a pilot to obtain manned aircraft f...

Control is intended to be by voice or mobile app. 'Gobble Hawk' Wins NASA High-Altitude UAV Design Competition There was another recent contest for students, this one specifically for UAVs that track hurricanes. NASA was looking for a lower cost high endurance UAS, and they chose the twin-fuselage Gobble Hawk design concept from Virginia Tech. The second place OQ451-5 Trident from Purdue would be powered by hydrogen engines, with an endurance of 7 days. Third place was the University of Virginia Big WAHOO (Worldwide Autonomous Hurricane and Oceanic Observer), also hydrogen-powered.. Amazon asks the FAA for permission to play with its drones outside Amazon.com has been operating its package delivery drones in an indoor test facility in Seattle. On July 9, they sent a Petition for Exemption to the FAA asking to move outside. Amazon is serious about package delivery by drone. In part, their petition says: Amazon Prime Air, a new delivery system that will get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using aerial vehicles, is one invention we are incredibly passionate about. We believe customers will love it, and we are committed to making Prime Air available to customers worldwide as soon as we are permitted to do so. We also see that Amazon has made significant progress: In the past five months, we have made advancements toward the development of highly-automated aerial vehicles for Prime Air, including: Testing a range of capabilities for our eighth- and ninth-generation aerial vehicles, including agility, flight duration, redundancy, and sense-and-avoid sensors and algorithms; Developing aerial vehicles that travel over 50 miles per hour, and will carry 5-pound payloads, which cover 86% of products sold on Amazon; and Attracting a growing team of world-renowned roboticists, scientists, aeronautical engineers, remote sensing experts, and a former NASA astronaut. Finally, Amazon summarizes: One day, seeing Amazon Prime Air will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today, resulting in enormous benefits for consumers across the nation. We respectfully submit this petition for exemption so that Prime Air can be ready to launch commercial operations as soon as eventually permitted by subsequent FAA action. Eagle shot wins drone photography competition A competition for drone photographs recently concluded and the winning photo is a birdseye view of an eagle in flight over Bali Barat National Park in Indonesia.
