Amazon will make deliveries with drones – Secured the required license from the US authorities
There is strong public concern about security and the protection of personal data due to the possible loss of packages
The American online retailer Amazonto begin delivering products using mini drones, Reuters news agency reported.
However, as the agency points out, there is strong public concern about security and the protection of personal data due to the possible loss of packages.
The US National Aviation Authority has given Amazon permission to conduct test flights in Washington state. Amazon has also been granted an exemption from a number of restrictions on domestic flights in order to conduct reliable tests. According to Reuters, the decision is a major victory for the Seattle-based company.
Amazon is, as the news agency highlights, the largest American e-commerce company and has invested a lot of time and money in the plan for aerial product deliveries with mini drones.
The permit granted to Amazon also has some restrictions. Among them is the fact that the mini drone must fly at a height of up to 120 meters. Furthermore, the permit applies to a specific type of mini drone. In short, if the company wants to make changes or modifications to the mini drone, it will have to secure a new flight permit.
However, the fact that Amazon managed to obtain a flight permit is a very important development in the field of e-commerce, opening up new avenues for delivering products to consumers.
