Amazon has launched dronedelivery trials in new locations in California and Texas as it continues its decade-long effort to deliver from the sky.
David Carbon, vice president of Prime Air Amazon, announced the development on LinkedIn. His post included a photo showing one of its drones carrying a small box on the end of a tether.
Carbon added that “customers are our obsession, safety is our imperative, the future of delivery is our mandate, technology is unlocking that future, and our people are the foundation that it all sits on.” With rules governing commercial drone flights still rather strict, Amazon and other leaders in the industry such as Alphabet-owned Wing have been operating pilot schemes like the ones that have just launched in California and Texas.
