It seemed like a dream, and instead the first delivery occurred with a #drone it is already a reality (in just 13 minutes).
There has been talk for the first time of # Amazon #PrimeAir, a service for the delivery of products via drone, three years ago, way back in 2013. At the time, however, the use of drones for commercial reasons was not allowed in the United States, and therefore the testing platform was organized in the United Kingdom . The first Amazon Prime Air delivery center is based in Cambridge and the first drone delivery was made on 7 December.
Obviously, the whole thing is still being tested, and the customers who can use the service are still few, close to the Amazon warehouse located in Cambridge. Meanwhile, the US Federal Aviation Administration has legislated on the use of drones: the new rules, however, prevent Prime Air from operating as Amazon would like. In fact, every single drone should be controlled by a certified operator, and always remain visible during the flight. However, the battle is still open, and who knows, things may not change in the future, even in the United States.
