Amazon has made plans to start using drones to deliver packages in a Californian town. By the end of 2022, Amazon customers in Lockeford will be able to use the new service, Prime Air.
2.
In a blog post, the company wrote that the drones will deliver packages to customers in Lockeford, where about 3,500 people live. Unlike most drones, Amazon’s delivery drones won’t need to be controlled by a person. Instead, the company said the drones have a “self-driving” system that will allow them to safely avoid things like airplanes, people and pets.

(2)Do you own a drone? If so, what do you use it for? If not, have you ever thought about getting one?
3. When the service becomes available, Prime customers in Lockeford will see items that can be delivered by drone.

All customers will need to do is order those products, and Amazon will let them know around what time the drone will arrive. Then, the company says their drone will hover at a safe height before dropping the package and flying away.
