"Amazon Prime Air is by far the most ambitious commercial drone program in development, but there's no reason it couldn't work. Today. Plenty of companies have demonstrated delivering goods via drone, including Domino's Pizza and the infamous TacoCopter. Although the flights are often promotional stunts (and not serious development programs, as Jeff Bezos says Amazon's is), they work. ... That tiny helicopter bringing you anything you desire on the Internet could be coming in for a smooth landing, after all."

Amazon’s publicity stunt earlier this week has certainly caught the eye of pretty much everyone interested in new delivery technologies, which again, is pretty much everyone since we all want our packages to arrive as soon as possible. However, there are way too many factors that make Amazon Prime Air not really feasible yet, namely the ability to hack an Amazon Prime Air drone and send it to a different location.
A new drone technology called SkyJack has been detailed, and it allows a Parrot AR.Drone to fly around and hack into other Parrot AR.Drones, turning them into sort of zombie drones. All it takes is a cheap Raspberry Pi computer board running custom software that you can download for free. From their, your drone can go ahead and hack other Parrot drones that are nearby by hijacking their wireless connections.
The man behind it all, Samy Kamkar, details the hacking process in a blog post, calling out Amazon Prime Air directly, saying ”how fun it would be to take over drones carrying Amazon packages.”
