Comment on Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.

How you figure? compared to point to point electrical energy costs compared to moving a truck mass around streets with constant stopping/starting?

It’s the same as a train, by moving bulk you reduce average costs. Plus drones have to stay in the air, and travel from their base for each package, whereas if a truck has two stops on a street it’s moving less distance.

Train isn't doing point to point.
You're gonna have to actually do the calculations before making claims.
