Amazon really, really wants to make drone deliveries normal as it expands to 500 cities

Amazon plans to expand its Prime Air drone delivery service to nearly 500 U.S. cities by 2026, representing a sixfold increase in reach. This expansion aims to bring lightweight package delivery to millions more people in suburban areas. Despite this growth strategy, the company faces mounting federal scrutiny and an increase in safety incidents. The initiative seeks to normalize airborne shipping for smaller items across a significantly broader geographic footprint within the United States.
