Amazon will start testing drones that will drop prescriptions on your doorstep, literally

UNDATED (AP)- Amazon will soon make prescription drugs fall from the sky when the e-commerce giant becomes the latest company to test drone deliveries. The company said Wednesday (Oct. 18, 2023) that customers in College Station, Texas can now get prescriptions delivered by a drone within an hour of placing their order. The drone is programed to fly from a delivery center with a secure pharmacy. It will travel to the customer’s address, descend to a height of about four meters _ or 13 feet _ and drop a padded package. Other companies that have tested prescription drone deliveries include CVS Health.
