Amazon makes first drone delivery
14 December 2016 Technology
Retail giant Amazon has made its first delivery using a drone, in the UK.
The package arrived safely at its destination in Cambridge, 13 minutes after being ordered.
A video showing the process details how the order was completed using an electrically powered drone flying at up to 400ft (122m).
One sceptic questioned how much of a "game changer" the limited trial of the service would be.
