Amazon drone delivery completes the first commercial trial, 13 minutes delivery to the door

According to foreign media reports, Amazon recently officially began the drone delivery service (Prime Air), the starting location in the United Kingdom. There are currently 2 consumers who have experienced it. The two of them only need to place an order at home, the drone will be shipped automatically, and the goods will be delivered to the customer's door in 30 minutes.

Amazon is the first to test drone courier services in the UK, not the US, to a certain extent affected by the regulatory system. Lei Feng.com has been informed that the UK regulator has granted Amazon several important authorities to operate drones in rural and suburban areas. Not only that, but because drones can sense and avoid obstacles, the UK also allows a controller to simultaneously operate flights consisting of multiple highly automated drones.



Amazon drone courier service launched in the UK

Currently, Amazon UAVs only provide courier services to customers located near the company's UK warehouse. People need to place a small QR code on their lawn to mark the location, and the drone will accurately find out where they can land safely. In addition, according to Lei Feng.com, the range of customers for Amazon drone delivery will gradually expand in the future, but in the short term, this number is only a few hundred.

The drone of this test is lighter in appearance.

It is worth mentioning that the UAV used for testing this time seems to be not the same as that shown by the company last year. In last year's video, Amazon's drones had rotating propellers and fixed wings, and they were quite large. The drone that was put into delivery this time looks much smaller. It has no fixed wings, which means that it may not be possible to fly long distances this time.

According to Amazon, the first official drone delivery was on December 7, the first batch of consumers who purchased the Prime Air delivery service placed an Amazon Fire TV set-top box and a pack of popcorn. The drone moved on the track after loading the cargo center and then flew to the sky. The entire flight and landing process is highly automated and is controlled by the drone. According to the press release, the customer's home address is near Cambridge, England, and the customer only took 13 minutes from the click to the delivery of the package. According to the original design concept, Amazon drone delivery time will be controlled within 30 minutes.
