Thanks to updated regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration, companies like Zipline, Amazon and Walmart are expanding their drone delivery services. Even Chick-fil-A is testing drone delivery at select locations nationwide. Walmart has drone delivery in 37 stores across six states, while Zipline serves more than 4,000 health centers and more than 45 million people worldwide. It’s important to note that autonomous delivery drones must have a licensed drone operator overseeing the delivery. The skies may appear crowded from the ground with delivery drones joining airplanes and helicopters, but experts say there’s no reason to worry about more collisions.
