Amazon drone delivery is expanding to Arizona later this year


Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an Amazon delivery drone

Amazon began its drone delivery service in College Station, Texas, and Lockeford, California in 2022, and says it has delivered thousands of items to customers in less than an hour. The company also began delivering prescription medications in partnership with Amazon Pharmacy last year, and it’s now adding a new location for the next stage of the program’s evolution. Amazon also announced that it’s conducting test flights of its new MK30 drone, which includes “innovative, safety-critical features that allow it to deliver packages to customers with smaller backyards and in more densely populated suburban areas”.
