Delivery
The e-tailer's newest way of getting meals into customers' hands is via drones. Amazon has been exploring drone delivery in 30 minutes or less for a few years, placing development centers in the U.S., U.K., Austria and Israel, and is negotiating with regulators to test its personnel-free system internationally.
It's already a player in the delivery of restaurant meals. Crowdsourced drivers pick up and drop off meals from 130 restaurants in an hour or less to Prime members in 17 cities. Delivery is free, and customers can track their orders in real time.
