FAA will let Amazon fly drones to customers, but not over cities yet - KUOW
Amazon Prime Air has won the FAA's permission to start delivering small items to customers by drone.

For Amazon, drones are the key to its goal of delivering some items in 30 minutes or less.
But the FAA approval has a lot of conditions.
To start, the the drones can’t fly over moving cars or buildings and they can’t land within 100 feet of a living person.
