Amazon is beginning to deliver orders by drones through the Amazon Prime Air service. Starting the deliveries in California and Texas, the company plans to expand the service to more regions over time.

 


Customers in California and Texas will be able to sign up and place their orders via Amazon Prime Air, while those living in other regions will be notified when the service is operational in their areas. Customers who place orders will receive tracking information and an estimated delivery time when the drone would drop off their package in their backyard. The deliveries will be monitored by Amazon employees.

The US government announced a major change for drone law last week, according to which, almost every drone in US airspace will need to broadcast their locations, along with the location of their pilots. The purpose behind this rule is to “address safety, national security, and law enforcement concerns regarding the further integration of these aircraft into the airspace of the United States”.

 

Google has responded to the law update and isn’t too happy with the decision. Google’s drone delivery subsidiary Wing published a post that says that the broadcast-only remote identification of drones may have unintended consequences for American consumers, such as letting observers track people’s movements, accessing information such as where they go and live, where and when they receive packages, etc. It further added that this type of surveillance would not be acceptable for American communities.

US Govt announces ban on DJI company over high concerns

The US government has declared a complete ban on the export of its technology products to the popular drone making company DJI situated in China. This company is a major provider of drone and surveillance technology to the Chinese government that could be used by the government to keep an eye on detention camps located in the province of Xinjiang. The US government has major concerns over products that are manufactured in China, such which is why the country found it necessary to put companies like DJI on the block list.

When Trump used to enjoy the throne, he established such policies because he believed that such export businesses have the potential to damage a country’s security. For the same, the country forbade any products manufactured by the popular technology company of Huawei. Under Trump’s orders, the Commerce Entity List was stacked with all the products or associations with companies that could prove to be a risk to the country’s security.

Are Delivery Drones the New Normal? #Infographic


Amidst the current pandemic sweeping across the world, and the resulting lockdowns in most countries, online shopping and deliveries have increased at an unprecedented rate as retailers and service providers alike have had to close down their brick-and-mortar office and move their businesses online.

While most deliveries are still made in-person, drones are increasingly gaining favor as the delivery vehicle of choice. But commercially-used drones are not a new phenomenon. They have been around for some time, but in the past, they were mostly associated with the aviation sector. But experts think that delivery drones might be an important part of the delivery system in the near future. Back in 2017, the drone delivery industry in the USA had already become a billion-dollar industry. The question is, are drone deliveries going to replace manual deliveries from now on?

Tips for Drone Safety

Drone use is on the increase in building. From survey mapping to work surveillance, they can be used in many apps. It requires time to figure out how to use a drone as building businesses decide to adopt this technology. In addition to safety precautions, learning how to use it comes first.

Take FlightAutonomy technology from DJI, for example. It enables drones to detect barriers up to 49 feet away (like the Mavic Pro shown above). That implies you can fly up to 22 mph knowing that your drone will see stuff on the flight route automatically and prevent them.

FlightAutonomy technology also enables drones like the Mavic Pro to be more accurate when flying indoors and out! You can almost precisely land the drone where it started.

You can fly safer with such smart technology, which protects you and others, avoids property damage, and protects your drone from bumps and bruises.

A Look At Drones As a Data Service
Drones extend existing aerial photography and sensor data collection methods. Because drones are short range, they complement other data sources, including satellite imagery, manned aircraft, and ground robots. Service providers aggregate these sources, filter, analyze, and deliver results to a smartphone or other display.
