NY Post
Amazon’s plans to deliver packages using autonomous drones have hit serious turbulence, with the company removing more than 100 employees from a team that has been “collapsing inwards,” according to a report.
Amazon’s Prime Air team in the UK, which was supposed to pioneer the company’s global drone efforts, has descended into “organized chaos” in the years following its high-profile 2016 launch, Wired reported on Tuesday. The team has been working on a particularly thorny task: creating drones that can autonomously land outside of customers’ houses or apartment buildings and leave packages unscathed. The company has said that the technology would allow orders to reach customers in 30 minutes or less.
