The city chosen for the show's debut was Lockeford, California. Soon, Amazon will begin drone deliveries across the city. The objective is to reduce the cost of deliveries, invest in security and reduce waiting times.
The drones chosen by the company are the MK27-2 model, developed by Amazon itself, with an exclusive design that promises stability and lower emission of sound waves on homes.
Still in the preparations, Amazon is working with the FAA (Federal Aviation Information), the federation responsible for the necessary licenses to carry out deliveries in the United States.
The drone that will be used by Amazon is quite sophisticated and has special technology to avoid collisions. In this way, it will be able to fly with payloads of up to 2 kg at a speed of 80 km/h and will automatically avoid obstacles that appear in its path.
Customers in the chosen city will normally buy their products through the Amazon website or app. Then a code will be sent with the time and average time for delivery.
The drone will place the order in each customer's backyard, releasing the package at a certain height and then resuming the altitude. We're getting closer and closer to the future, aren't we?
