Amazon says it has been given approval from regulators to fly drones farther and deliver goods to more customers.

The company says the Federal Aviation Administration has given it permission to operate its drones beyond the sight on its operator, allowing the expansion of drone delivery.

The company says it has developed a system to allow the drone to detect and avoid other things in the air to improve safety.

      Why? This is actually kinda cool. I am just sitting here wishing I could order cannabis and Soylent and have it be brought to me via drone.

      It was what the founding fathers would have wanted!

      A small drone like this will make home deliveries even more ecologically advantageous, far better than combustion engines or 3 ton electric vehicles
