This was the first FAA-approved autonomous drone delivery in the U.S.

An independent drone delivery company called Flirtey (presumably because they're flirting with the ire of shotgun toting reactionaries) successfully completed the first fully autonomous, FAA-approved urban drone delivery in the United States. The STEM robot wars are heating up. Cubetto is the latest reason why you wish you were still a kid. In an uninhabited residential setting in Hawthorne, Nevada, the company successfully delivered a package that included bottled water, emergency food and a first aid kit by drone. The test was performed at one of six FAA-designated Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Sites, and the Flirtey operation is investigating rescue and crisis response in disaster-prone areas.
