Amazon pretende entregar 500 milhões de pacotes anualmente por drones até o final de 2030

The United States Aviation Agency (FAA) is investigating Amazon after one of the company’s delivery drones downed an internet cable in central Texas last week.

“An MK30 drone struck a line in Waco, Texas, at approximately 12:45 pm local time on Tuesday, November 18,” the regulator said in a statement to Reuters. He added that he “is investigating” this incident.

On Nov. 18, after completing a delivery, a drone cut a thin, overhead internet cable and then performed a “contingent safe landing” as designed, an Amazon spokesperson told Reuters in an email response, adding that “there were no injuries or widespread disruptions to internet service.”
