Amazon says the FAA is so slow, the delivery drone it approved is already obsolete
Last week the Federal Aviation Administration finally gave Amazon permission to begin test flying its delivery drones outdoors. But in testimony before a Senate subcommittee today, Amazon argued that the government wasn’t moving nearly fast enough. “This approval came last Thursday, and we’re eager to get flying here as we have been abroad,” said Paul Misener, Amazon’s vice president for Global Public Policy. But “while the FAA was considering our applications for testing, we innovated so rapidly that the [drone] approved last week by the FAA has become obsolete. We don’t test it anymore. We’ve moved on to more advanced designs that we already are testing abroad.”
