- The expansion follows Amazon securing a world-first Sail 4 safety authorisation from the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
- The approval allows the company's MK30 all-electric drones to operate over urban areas and fly further distances.
- Eligible customers with a garden, yard, or driveway can receive items weighing under 5lb within an hour at no extra cost.
- The drones use machine-learning technology to navigate around obstacles such as people, animals, and clotheslines during delivery.
