The company has paused all commercial drone deliveries in Texas and Arizona after a previously undisclosed event in which two of Amazon’s MK30 drones had crashed at the Pendleton. MK30 is the company’s next-gen drone model, which is lighter and has a longer range than its predecessor, the MK27. The incidents took place in December, with one of the drones even catching fire after it fell.Amazon has been sending out non-medical shipments via drones in Texas since 2022 before adding prescription medication a year later. In 2024, Amazon halted drone deliveries in California, but it also launched the service in Phoenix, Arizona. Do you think that human operations will never be outdone by drones ?
