Amazon Scout is a fully-electric delivery system from Amazon designed to safely get packages to customers using autonomous delivery devices. Learn more: amazon.com/scout
It's cool and cute... But will be stolen or vandalized instantly. Also in my city the sidewalks are crumbling and just gone in places, the decaying corpse of the rest belt needs a tank drone to navigate.
I can already imagine the automated call: 911: what's your emergency?.. Scout: Hello, I'm scout and I've been kidnapped by a random guy.. And he's about to disconnect my batter.... 911: Hello?
Then you dont want to read my comment lol ! " Lmfao ! Drive that lil punk downtown late at night to deliver anything ... He will be scrapped for parts and the goods stolen in no time lol "
The only way this is a viable idea is if there is a larger truck nearby that this can dock with and reload. Also it seriously needs to be able to deploy the package somehow, but then this would be a porch pirates dream come true.
"This is the police, how can we help?" "My name is Jeff Bezos and I had eight million seven hundred thousand two hundred and forty three packages stolen today and I want you to find them."
@JT Rothmoore It would take more time to deploy the scouts, wait to pick them up and verify deliveries then it would to let a human driver complete his route. Total waist of time and resources in my opinion from an actual "Real" driver.
@JT Rothmoore These won't work in apartment complexes due to stairs. What if there are other issues like nobody is home, its raining, notes on the door with specific delivery instructions then hows that algorithm going to figure it out?
@ JT Rothmoore ...At first I thought you were trolling and now I realize you are serious...hahahaha...oh dear, you actually are delusional enough to believe this will ever be a thing.
@JT Rothmoore Dude there is so so many things wrong with your answer that I don't even know where to begin. There is so many hypothetical possibilities sure anything is possible but your own hypothesis is wrong. What Amazon is showing off isn't what you are proposing. You think combining those three robot technologies will make it work. I am sorry JT what about opening the door in the rain without hands and looking around to make sure nobody's going to break into the house. Anyone with half a brain can see this to be epic fail.
IKR I give it a week before they are completely trashed after being continuously looted, people who believe this will ever be a thing are delusional...lol..
Why wouldn't they opt for an aerial version? It would have certainly been faster. That thing moves at a snail's pace, it would take forever to get your parcel assuming they just let it run loose from the post office. Also, tbh it looks rather easy to steal from.
Curious to find out what stops someone on the sidewalk from walking up and taking your package as it opens. Considering most people with jobs aren't home during delivery hours.
Nice delivery robot that *will save a lot of driving in traffic.* Good for early morning and night time deliveries, when people are actually at home to get the package.
Scout is a pretty good innovation and a smart response to the COVID restrictions of physical contact. Not the happiest to see Amazon discontinue it. Hoping Amazon Scout is transformed into something even more helpful in the future. Well done guys.
instead of dropping off their unwanted baby at the hospital, they'll just order something from Amazon and when the robot comes, they'll put the baby inside.

That's a lovely sidewalk. What happens when there's construction going on, and it has jump off that 10 inch curb. And does it come with a snowplow option?
Every day when his deliveries are fulfilled he talks to Alexa about how humans on the sidewalk kept spitting on him for taking their jobs... "Alexa, please activate my self-destruct program!" ... she never replies and just fills him with new orders for the next shift (but sometimes he thinks he can hear her whisper "welcome to slavery bitch")
Eh, say if the warehouse was a mile away from your house, and this thing was going 3mph it would take 40/45 mins round trip to deliver one parcel Is it worth it?
How is a scout more efficient then transporting bulk packages? If Amazon is processing millions of parcels per day are we to believe there will be a million of these bots on the street? I understand the concept and applaud the advancement of AI, but this doesn’t seem feasible as a mass market delivery solution.
What happens if I Live so far away from the Amazon warehouse it just drives on the highways sidewalk Will it run out of battery Or you go near the House and Start making the robot to go to the house making the robot go over there And making sure the person gets it's package?
Hopefully it can be improved with additional safety mechanisms to lock and even use of potentially digital QR codes or otherwise on a lid mounted screen to be unlocked with a smartphone? Great concept even so.
@Herbert N says a lot about everyone's sense of fucked up morality if you think someone deserves to be raped in jail for fucking with mass produced corporate owned robots, (ducking scooter company got in trouble not long ago for purposefully putting broken(dangerous to ride) scooters back on the streets after telling the repair engineers they wouldn't pay for the parts to fix them. fuck them and fuck amazon
Does it have a cannon that launches packages at my house like a normal Amazon delivery person?
That’s FedEx boy get that right
That would be cool
It wants to be nice which is why it doesn't have a cannon
That's a genius idea
Imagine when his mission is complete he just self destruct’s
He won't get a chance to self destruct, the person looting him will trash him before they leave.

First of all it can and might have cameras for security. Secondly you can put some sophisticated alarm system on.
Sounds like my neighborhood. Unless the thing has gatling guns and bullet proof armor, it won't last a day around here.
I am wondering if the Amazon team that developed this has ever been out in the real world.
There’s 40 of these everyday around the Arizona St campus
Are you that stupid to believe they didn’t take into account that people would want to steal.
@@SteveF0rbes So there in Arizona? We don’t have the Amazon ones here,, just the white Starship food delivery bot

@Joel O. your comment was too funny.
Thank you @Rosy Payran
dmxit Lol.. Scout kidnappings
When the machines take over, they will judge us on how we treated Scout.
"You're being very aggressive, Jerry. Perhaps tomorrow Dr. Scraps will solve that problem with a bit of surgery."
I like robots as long as they aren't from fucking amazon. Fuck amazon.
Then you dont want to read my comment lol ! " Lmfao ! Drive that lil punk downtown late at night to deliver anything ... He will be scrapped for parts and the goods stolen in no time lol
"
If Death Stranding has taught me anything it's that packages delivered by robots are guaranteed to be 90% damaged.
The recipient of the package is so rude! She didn't even give the lil' dude a pat to say thank you!
Scout doesnt want your Covid. 6ft
He is so cute I want to carry the stuff for him
That is much cuter. I want to carry your burdens
Oh! It's very easy travel to maket
@Shankaranarayan N it was not my turn
@Shankaranarayan N you are lovely
so cute. no one wants to crack it in usa.
1 / On the toilets on wheels
2 / They will be robbed
3 / It takes 3 weeks for your parcel to arrive given the speed of the trick
So, you nicked the Starship robot and painted it blue ?
amazon are notorious thieves. Products, tech. They're the worst on the planet.
The only way this is a viable idea is if there is a larger truck nearby that this can dock with and reload. Also it seriously needs to be able to deploy the package somehow, but then this would be a porch pirates dream come true.
They have a charging station pod someone load them up with packages. I help build the pods
"This is the police, how can we help?"
"My name is Jeff Bezos and I had eight million seven hundred thousand two hundred and forty three packages stolen today and I want you to find them."
How much does scout weigh? Will it fit in my trunk?
Why do u need to know that😂
@@dexterity409 Mb to kidnap the scout :o
Is 'trunk' a euphemism for your bum?
*hmm...*
Where is this Scout's starting point? Does a carrier drop it off on a street corner?

This is very interesting. I would like to know what they plan to do about dealing with ice and snow. Are those wheels going to have enough traction?
lmao Imagine that thing sliding out of control down a steep icy hill. xD
Simple solution, winter tires. Just like all cars do
Okay but she didn't even thank the delivery robot 😢
What if I’m not home lol
Bccmac 14 it breaks into ur house
It'll just chuck your package towards your soon-to-be-broken window.
They're developing a cannon to fire the pkg at your doorstep
Remember, only pick out your box, not the neighbors package.
it might only carry your package
So one pkg at at time? :/ that seems efficient
it takes paid JOBs , make america jobless again! (and amazone boss richer)
its like hermione's purse in there, itll be fine
@JT Rothmoore Great, so people can just swipe all the parcels when the lid opens
@@mushie8447 Kind of what happens when people want $15 an hour for unskilled labor.

Do you guys not order online?
oh yeah yeah

What if people just start tipping them over for fun? Would they have to send out a person to reset it?
What alternate universe are you living in! Clearly this isn’t going in the projects.

We all know this. I am pretty sure it will never be deployed.
Well it actually is, they are starting today (or yesterday, depending on the time of posting this) in Seattle.
@@DobromirManchev And so far are they working well?

This is mainly intended and designed for newly established and safer cities like Irvine, CA
Stick some beer in there and I'm sold!!!
Please deliver to me in Compton
So the only thing the thief has to do is to follow one around during Christmas time?
You'll see cops catching thieves catching amazon scouts during Xmas))
This thing is taking up 80% of the sidewalk.
I know most Americans don't use sidewalks, but come on. This is ridiculous.
I'd like to know how this thing would fare in a game of chicken against someone in a motorized wheelchair.
Yeah, you're not allowed to ride a bike on the sidewalk, but you can send a fatass robot down it at 1mph?

"Wheels"

Imagine that robot having the owners "face recognition" somewhere in it's hardware and starting pepper spraying if you're not the owner 😜😂
It's in Wistiria Lane
Imagine seeing cats riding this like a roomba
So how is this joker going to navigate at the part of the sidewalk where you have to climb a 6 inch wall to avoid the non existent side walk???
Starship seems to have a much better functioning delivery robot.
That's a lovely sidewalk. What happens when there's construction going on, and it has jump off that 10 inch curb. And does it come with a snowplow option?
More vaporware from Bezos. Thanks. you made my day.
So if you're a parent with a stroller or someone in a wheel chair are you meant to just tip it over onto the road to get by?
Maybe in the perfect world maybe
I love you, Scout. I really hope to see you soon, again
My Roomba is very jealous...
I see no issues with this at all. I don't think anyone would kick it over for a laugh or steal it and your delivery.
Eventually it will get tired of waiting for people and it will just toss your box from the sidewalk to your front door.
You blatantly ripped off Starship robot's design. That's quite a dick move.
*Insert South Park joke about jobs*
Every day when his deliveries are fulfilled he talks to Alexa about how humans on the sidewalk kept spitting on him for taking their jobs... "Alexa, please activate my self-destruct program!" ...

Looks like our packages are going to get delivered in over the course of weeks instead of days...
Eh, say if the warehouse was a mile away from your house, and this thing was going 3mph it would take 40/45 mins round trip to deliver one parcel
Is it worth it?
I'm quite sure they will charge extra just like with same day delivery
What’s stopping people from damaging the drone or stealing the drone or it’s content? What if it’s hit by a car?
How is a scout more efficient then transporting bulk packages? If Amazon is processing millions of parcels per day are we to believe there will be a million of these bots on the street?

Lets see some deliveries on the south side of Chicago.
Man one day Amazon is going to take over the world and everything we use will be amazon branded😂😂

Does it just run around with one box at a time?
“Enemies found bomb A”
Your package will arrive in 5 years

was this ad shot on Wisteria Lane?
Comical
Every wise ass kid will be messing with these on TikTok
What happens when the lady doesn't come out? I wonder if it truly emulates human behavior and throws it against your door.
