Fast-forward 60 years, and now it's a fleet of Amazon drones that's going to deliver the goods 30 minutes after you click on the "Buy" button. Along the same lines, Bezos' challenge isn't to get drones to fly down your driveway and deliver. He told 60 Minutes' Charlie Rose that he can see such "Prime Air" drones carrying Amazon boxes weighing up to five pounds in as little as four years, ferrying them within 10 miles of Amazon's growing network of fulfillment centers. Bezos acknowledges drone delivery will be challenging, but he says he's an optimist.
