The company plans to make drone deliveries to those who order on amazon in the United States. It looks like delivery will start this way for the first time later this year.

However, it is certain that the project will be implemented only after obtaining the proper approval. amazon says people in Lockheedford, california, can order tens of thousands of items to be delivered to their homes by drone. Although amazon has been claiming drone delivery for years, the plan has repeatedly met with delays and setbacks. But amazon has said it plans to expand the facility widely after the first drone delivery was introduced in Lockeford.

Delivery by drone often seems like something out of science fiction," amazon said in a blog post. [But] by the end of this year, customers living in Lockeford, california will be one of the first people to receive Prime Airway delivery. "Feedback on this service will enable us to develop a service that expands to customers elsewhere," amazon said.

The drones used in this service will be programmed to drop parcels into customers' backyards. The population of this city is about 4 thousand.

There is no need for one to control these drones from a place visible to the naked eye. Instead, these drones use sensors to avoid colliding with other aircraft, people, or obstacles. The aim is to deliver parcels safely to customers within an hour.

Experimental effort and critique

In the past the promise of drone delivery has been featured in the news and has been criticized as a strategy to increase the number of Prime subscribers. In 2013, amazon founder and former chairman jeff bezos promised to fill the airspace with a delivery drone module in 5 years. In 2019, amazon announced that it would introduce drone delivery in a few months. The Bloomberg site reported that there were security concerns over the drones. But amazon said it had carried out rigorous tests to ensure that their drones were in compliance with all regulations.

In december 2016 the company successfully made drone delivery on a trial basis in Cambridge. Parcel delivery in 13 minutes. Describing how the service will operate in Lockeford, amazon said, "Customers in this city will be able to see which items are eligible for Prime air Delivery as soon as they enter the site, and will then be able to place an order, as well as a tracker of the delivery time. When the drone arrives at the specified location, it will lower its height in the customer's backyard, land at a safe altitude, drop the package, and then begin to increase in altitude. "
