Amazon recruits help from Jeremy Clarkson to plug Amazon Prime Air
Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear stable mates signed up to a monstrous deal with Amazon earlier this year and perhaps predictably, the former face of the UK motoring show is being used to market quite a few of Amazon’s new endeavours,with Amazon most recently getting help from Jeremy Clarkson to plug Amazon Prime Air. While drone delivery is technically still outlawed in the US, the new ad has aired to no doubt drum up some hype with Clarkson’s star power. Check out the ad below:
You’ll notice that the Amazon drones look a little different than before, with Amazon clearly busy trying to make drone deliveries a reality – that said, Amazon says that they are working on “more than a dozen prototypes” so really this might not even be the design when the service is officially launched. The Amazon Prime Air service itself will be used to deliver goods weighing 5 pounds or less within a 30 minute radius of its warehouse – the service will even support notifications to let you know that your package is incoming. As for when it’s actually going to be launched, you’ll need to wait and see what the government’s upcoming commercial drone laws are going to say and whether that disagrees with how Amazon wants to operate its drone service.
