Chinese Drone Delivery Service launched
Tuesday, March 31st, 2015

Chinese logistics company S.F. Express has begun using small drones to deliver packages to remote and mountainous areas in south China, reports the IT Times.

S.F. Express currently operates 500 flights on a daily basis around the Pearl River Delta, the heartland of China’s manufacturing industry, the IT Times reported.

S.F. Express has teamed up with domestic drone maker Xaircraft in testing delivery drones since 2013. Details of the drones used by S.F. Express are not available at the moment. But according to the website of Xaircraft, its delivery drones can carry loads up to 10 kilograms (353 oz), with a maximum range of 20 kilometers (12 miles).

Prior to each flight, a worker needs to place the drone in a designated spot. Destination and route information is preprogramed, and the drone can fly on its own. Xaircraft’s founder Peng Bin told the IT Times that he considered drone delivery to be still in its infancy, and compared with urban areas, it made more sense to deliver packages to remote areas where human workers have difficulty to access.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of China (AOPA) is leading an initiative to finalize regulations on flying commercial drones in China. The AOPA is also in charge of training drone pilots and issuing licenses to them. Ke Yubao, Executive Secretary-General of the AOPA, told the IT Times that the upcoming regulations would only allow licensed drone pilots to operate commercial drones.

As of the end of 2014, China had 244 drone pilots with AOPA licenses.

China's largest mail company is set to deliver more than 1,000 packages a day... by drone.

Simple: Goods are loaded onto the drone by a courier, the delivery address is scanned and the aircraft then flies to the destination

The mail company, together with the firm XAircraft, began experimenting with drone deliveries in Dongguan, southern China in 2013.

Peng Bing, the founder of XAircraft, said: 'At present there are 500 drones carrying out courier work in Shenzhen and Huizhou.

'The entire drone operation will reach several thousand units very soon.'

Goods are loaded onto the drone by a courier, the delivery address is scanned and the aircraft then flies to the destination.

The courier at the location prepares a good landing area and when the drone arrives, the parcel is scanned once again and the aircraft returns to its base automatically.

S.F. Express is currently delivering parcels with drones in southern and eastern China, including areas like Huizhou, Zhongshan, Hangzhou and Jiaxing where demands for same-day couriers are high. The Shenzhen-based company is hoping to expand the service to remote villages, farms and mountain ranges.

There is very little human interaction with the drones and the work is carried out in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Regulatory Authority.

四螺旋桨无人机。。。。长三角地区城内小包专送?这个邮费商家不知道给不给包:what:话说amazon已经试过了
 
I really dont like the possible uses of the courier drones. Strap explosives on it and use it as a suicide bomber who doesn't have to commit suicide.

One crazy bastard with twelve drones could hit a dozen places at once and never get caught.
 
Some solutions if you have to work in the daytime but don't wanna send your parcels to your company to make your boss have some attitudes:
1, as in this article
2, send to nearby convenient markets or delivery agencies
3, change delivery time to at night or weekends
What else?

can confirm!:enjoy:

my family's community applied this model 速递通, incredibly convenient and efficient indeed!
I like it, hope Wuhan will have these. Sometimes I feel really perturbed when they telephone me at 9am at weekends:flame:
 
All this can be summarized by about one word:GREAT。:enjoy:

Aliyun launches Matrix+ to integrate global computing capability

OFweek | Posted: 02 Apr 2015, 14:26

(OFweek) - On April 1, Ali Cloud Computing, a subsidiary of Alibaba, launched an exciting project, aiming to connect more than 10 million units of intelligent terminals and bring together 30% of the world's computing power for scientific research.:D

Currently, based on the latest technology developed by Aliyun S-Lab, they are already capable of forming a powerful performance supercomputer with about 1 million smartphones through Internet connection.

Annually, there are about 2.5 billion computing devices manufactured and sold all over the world, including mobile phones, PCs, tablet PCs and ultra-portable devices. Whether the equipment is discarded or is often idle, it actually consumes the computing power of the planet, and Aliyun wants to utilize this energy more efficiently.

LOL we don't ban cars for they kill people too do we? Not a bad worry though, very sharp observation, let's find a solution to that bro, maybe relevant law, law enforcement agencies, and even better I smell business!

Robotics, automation & drones are the future, let's make things work for us not against us!

Drones are fine, but future residential buildings need to build "drone pads" like helipads. I expect my fast food or parcel delivery to be on time & on my drone pad. :D
