We have long known the intention of Amazon to replace the classic delivery men with drones, drones that will make deliveries faster and at no cost.
This intention was stopped by the United States government, since Amazon's drones needed to be regulated by the US National Aviation Agency. A regulation that demands a lot. But Amazon has learned and now has applied for the corresponding licenses and permits from the British government to test and measure the performance of its drones in British airspace.
The license has been granted and not only that, but the permits give Amazon more freedom than the licenses that were obtained in the United States, which means that tests conducted in British air will be more important than the Americans.
This permit will allow our books to reach through the air
Amazon's intention will first be to test the operation of drones with shipments in 30 minutes of up to 5 pounds of weight, shipments that would indicate that they will be made in greater London. The British government will not be absent in this process, on the contrary. The data that these investigations create will be used not only by Amazon but by the British Government for the creation of future laws on drones and air shipments through the British sky. And there is more.
Although Brexit was approved a long time ago, the truth is that it will take two years to be effective. That is these tests will also be legislated or supervised by the European Union Air Agency And this will allow all member countries of the European Union to access this information and may even be legislated by European laws on this issue, making things easier for international companies like Amazon or Rakuten. In any case, it seems that it is closer than ever to receive our packages through drones Do not you think?
