For some time now, Amazon and several parcel couriers have been testing delivery drones. While the technology seems promising and has many potential benefits, are delivery drones ready for action?
Back in 2013, Jeff Bezos appeared on the topical news show, 60 Minutes. He told reporter Charlie Rose that Amazon planned to start delivering packages using GPS-guided drones. If the segment had been televised around the start of April, viewers would have written off the idea as a joke. But this episode aired in December, and Bezos was deadly serious.
In 2016, Amazon delivered its first package via drone delivery — albeit on a trial run. But three years later, Prime Air still hasn’t arrived. Will parcels ever arrive by drone?
