Amazon U.S. drones taking off this year

Amazon is launching drone delivery in California, marking the retailer’s first drone debut in the U.S.

The news comes on the heels of competitors Walmart and Google/Alphabet Inc. already testing and using drone delivery, according to a Wall Street Journal report, and almost 10 years after Amazon first announced it would tap drones for delivery.

Amazon launched drone delivery nine years ago in England and got FAA approval two years ago for U.S. deployment, according to the WSJ.
