Recently amazon was granted permission to attempt flying products to customers with the use of drones. This was quite a process to allow therefore Amazon has many rules and restrictions to follow. Some of these restrictions are flying below 400 feet in daylight, pilot must have a pilots license, and must be 500 feet away from pedestrians. The FAA has been very strict about their use of drones and Amazon must give reports to the FAA every month about the flights. Amazons hopes to be able to deliver products directly to customers within 30 minutes of purchase. This privilege to Amazon has opened many doors and is a positive step regarding technology and online shopping along with job opportunities.
