Amazon plans drone deliveries for UK parcels next year
Amazon has announced it will start using drones to deliver parcels in the UK in under an hour. The company already offers drone deliveries in two US states for goods weighing no more than 5lbs. The aviation regulator said "Exploring" how drones could be safely used in more of the UK's airspace was "Key". "What our customers will do is jump on to the Amazon website, they'll select drone delivery if it's available in their area, they'll order their product....and that will then set off the chain of events that goes to our ground system that finds the customer's yard, drops package off where they asked it, and we're out of there," Mr Carbon said. In the UK Amazon plans to use markerless delivery and enable the drones to pinpoint drop points using GPS. America has some of the toughest aviation regulations in the world. Mr Carbon has set a goal of 500 million global drone deliveries per year by the end of the decade, including those in densely populated suburban areas.
