Amazon is also working to change how your Prime orders are delivered with their new drone technology.
Recently, the FAA approved Amazon’s drone delivery program, bringing the company one step closer to forever changing the concept of package delivery.
While Amazon’s drone program is exciting on paper, there are still many more critical hurdles to go. According to Amazon, the FAA’s approval is an “important step.” That said, the company is still testing various drone technologies.
In an announcement last year, Amazon shared details about its drone program. Currently, the company is testing all electric drones with a five pound weight capacity capable of delivering your items to your backyard in thirty minutes or less.
Amazon has joined two other competitors with drone approval from the FAA — UPS and Google. If Amazon were to successfully roll out a large-scale drone delivery program, the benefits could be enormous.
For one, the company would have found a solution to safely deliver products during the pandemic, which doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.
