The Morning After: Amazon expands its drone ambitions
We haven't heard much on the state of Amazon's drone deliveries, but the company still seems focused on exploring the possibilities. A report earlier this year said Amazon had made only a handful of deliveries due to FAA regulations. However, in the announcement of prescription deliveries in parts of Texas, Amazon said its drones "have safely delivered hundreds of household items in College Station [in Texas] since December 2022." Customers at College Station are now eligible for aerial deliveries of "more than 500 medications" for common conditions like the flu, asthma and pneumonia. Texas has established itself as a hotbed for drone delivery trials.
