Some time ago, Amazon already announced package delivery via drone, but then it calmed down around the project. Prime Air is set to debut later this year in California, USA.
In 2016, Amazon had already managed to successfully deliver by drone. That time Company tested delivery in the UK, here one fire tv stick and gave popcorn. After this beta test, things have calmed down regarding drone delivery. Now Amazon has just announced Drone delivery this year to start. Let’s start in Lockford, California, USA.

In the press release, Amazon is self-deprecating and writes: “The promise of drone delivery has often felt like science fiction. We’ve been working to make this a reality for almost a decade.” In the meantime the challenges should have been mastered so that the exams could start before the end of this year. According to Amazon, Lockford residents are asked to help.
Amazon wants feedback on drone delivery. One would like to know how drone dropped deliveries in gardens or backyards. Lockford is set to become a pilot for Prime Air.
