Delivery drones are coming to more US neighborhoods after getting off to a slow start

Delivery drones are coming to more US neighborhoods after getting off to a slow start 20 mins ago Delivery drones are supposed to be fast, yet the long-promised technology has been slow to take off in the United States. More than six years after the Federal Aviation Administration approved the first commercial home deliveries with drones, the service still is confined to a handful of suburbs. That could soon change. The FAA proposed a new rule last week that would make it easier for companies to fly drones outside of an operator’s line of sight. A handful of companies do that now, but they had to obtain waivers. Walmart, Amazon, DoorDash and the drone companies they work with say they are preparing to make drone-based deliveries available to millions more U.S. households.
