Amazon to Expand Drone Delivery Service to 500 U.S. Cities by Year-End
Amazon plans to expand its drone delivery service from 11 locations to about 500 U.S. cities and towns by the end of the year, primarily targeting suburban areas. The drones, capable of carrying packages up to 5 pounds, aim to deliver lightweight items within 30 minutes. The expansion requires regulatory approval in each community, with some residents raising concerns about noise and safety. Despite growth, drone deliveries will remain a small portion of Amazon's overall shipments.
