Summary
Amazon partners with U.K. government to test drones for parcel delivery in rural and suburban areas. The partnership aims to explore innovations such as flying drones beyond line of sight, testing sensors, and controlling multiple drones. Amazon has been investing in drone technology for a while and sees the U.K. as a leader in enabling drone innovation. The exact details of how the system will work are still unclear, but patents suggest a complex system involving communication between drones and docking stations for recharging. Despite privacy concerns and questions about commercial feasibility, Amazon is determined to make drone deliveries a reality through its Prime Air project.
