The sky seemed to be the limit for Amazon (AMZN) when its executive Jeff Wilke said he expects to start “delivering packages via drone to customers within months.”
But one logistics CEO says not so fast.
“Based on our analysis, they’re probably a couple years out before we can see a commercial operation that will be the type of scale that Amazon would like to see,” said Andreas Raptopoulos, Founder and CEO of Matternet, on YFi PM.
