When Will Your Order Be Delivered By Drone?

While it will probably be a long time before someone flies to your door in an Iron Man suit to deliver your Amazon package, having a package delivered by drone is closer than we think.

Used mainly for recreational purposes as well as in media and entertainment, drones are slowly but surely gaining ground in commerce, too. How close we are to having our packages delivered with the help of drones depends largely on how soon certain legislative gaps are filled.

Companies in the trade and logistics sectors are intrigued by the potential benefits drone technology could bring to delivery services. In fact, the authorities have begun to create a regulatory framework for the use of drones in the European Union, following the example of the United States, where drones are already being flown at an early stage for various commercial delivery activities.
