In California and Texas, Amazon is testing out drones for delivery.
David Carbon, vice president of Prime Air Amazon, made the announcement on the professional networking site. A picture of a small box on the end of a tether was included in his post.
Carbon wrote in his post that the first deliveries were from Texas and California. Couldn't be more proud of the people that make up Prime Air. We will turn these first steps into giant leaps for our customers over time.
The future of delivery is our mandate, technology isunlocking that future, and our people are the foundation that it all sits on.
Amazon has been working on a delivery service that uses drones. Over the last decade, the platform has gone through many designs and each one has improved as the company tries to convince regulators that its flying machine is safe and reliable. The company is going to launch a new aircraft design that will be more durable and have a longer range.
Amazon is preparing to deliver drones.
With rules governing commercial drones still rather strict, leaders in the industry such as Amazon and Wing have been operating pilot schemes like the ones just launched in California and Texas.
Customers can use a phone app to order small items online. The customer's address is the location of the drone. The product is lowered to the ground when it arrives.
In urban areas where road traffic can slow things down, using drones can help. Reducing carbon emissions can be done with the electric flying machines.
If there is no road vehicle available to make the trip, deliveries could be delayed. People living under their flight path can be annoyed by the noise of the machines. Makers of commercial delivery drones are trying to keep the peace with quieter aircraft.
