Two weeks ago, Seven Eleven made the first Drone delivery in the US to a family that was obviously hungry. They ordered and received by Drone, some Slurpee’s, a chicken sandwich, donuts, hot coffee and some candy. How’s that for convenience. Seven Eleven worked with Tech-Start Up company, Flirtey to make the delivery. Flirtey is working on perfecting the ability for Drones to deliver much needed food, medicine and medical supplies to many countries that lack the ability to receive these essential products in a timely fashion.
Now, we here that Amazon is testing Drone delivery technology in the UK in partnership with UK aviation regulators. Tests are being conducted for both rural and suburban deliveries. In addition the tests involve, flying drones beyond the sight of the pilot and in some cases having a single pilot operate multiple drones. So while the US has not yet granted Amazon approval to test their drones here the UK tests will go a long way to prove or disapprove that drone delivery technology is safe.
