Amazon claims first successful Prime Air drone delivery

Trial only open to two customers in UK who have huge gardens, live close to an Amazon depot and want items that weigh less than 2.6kg

Amazon says it has successfully trialled its Prime Air drone delivery service in Cambridge, UK, by delivering a TV streaming stick and bag of popcorn directly to the garden of a nearby customer.

The breakthrough suggests that autonomous aerial delivery could become a viable business sooner than thought, albeit only for customers with huge gardens, who live close to the delivery depot, and want items weighing less than 2.6kg.
