The Verge reports: The news came after Amazon announced it was shutting down its testing zone location in Lockeford, California. Amazon is using its latest MK30 drones that can carry up to 5 pounds while also flying "twice as far" and running "50 percent quieter" than its previous models that sometimes crashed and burned in testing. The company claims it's the first to launch both a new facility and BVLOS drone service that meets FAA requirements.
