It's something that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has envisioned, and he revealed the ideas in an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes Sunday night. Bezos said the company is developing a service that delivers packages via autonomous drones.

The program, called Amazon Prime Air, would have drones delivering packages of up to five pounds -- which Bezos says makes up 86 percent of their orders -- within a half-hour up to 10 miles from the fulfillment center.
