Yes, clearly it works and Amazon say it will happen in the US in five years time.

Sometimes you see things which just blow the mind and like the stuff that used to be on Tomorrow's World, the future has arrived. But I feel sorry for those delivery jobs that will go though.

No, this will be a "special delivery" type service. Amazon say within 30 minutes, so the cost will be huge. But for those that have the money and want the goods, it will become a reality and drive down costs for the rest of us.
