Amazon puts its drone deliveries on hold following two crash incidents

Amazon is "voluntarily pausing" its drone delivery operations following an event wherein two of its drones crashed in the rain. The company said the crashes were not the primary reason for its decision.

Amazon reportedly determined that its drones crashed due a software issue that's linked to the light rain drizzling at the time the tests were being conducted. Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson told Bloomberg that it's "currently in the process of making software changes to the drone" and that the operational pause is voluntary. ThermoWorks’ long-awaited wireless grill probe doesn’t pack all of the sensors inside a single device, which means its readings are more accurate than the competition.
