Last week it was announced that Amazon's drones will be trialled, with the delivery service coming to the UK and Italy.
So how would this work?
Customers who want the option of drone delivery need to be approved first - the drone will need a clear space to drop the parcel. After an order is placed, you'll have to place a small marker on the floor in the form of a QR code. As the drone approaches, it will spot the marker and drop the package from a height of 12ft.
Why though?
From an environmental perspective, the carbon emissions of a drone are roughly 98% less than a delivery van. From Amazon's perspective, costs are much lower than usual delivery.
