Amazon has paused its drone delivery service in the Phoenix area after two MK30 drones crashed into a crane, with no injuries reported. The incident is under investigation by the FAA, and the service suspension follows previous pauses for software updates and validations.
Walmart is expanding its drone delivery service to cover 75% of the Dallas Fort-Worth area, aiming to compete with Amazon in the futuristic delivery market. The retailer has been trialing drone deliveries for two years and has already sent over 20,000 packages using this method. The service, powered by on-demand drone providers Wing and Zipline, promises delivery in less than 30 minutes, with some deliveries taking as little as 10 minutes. This move puts Walmart at the forefront of drone delivery in the US, while Amazon has faced regulatory hurdles and delays in its own drone delivery program.
