In 2013, then-Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos predicted that drone deliveries would be a reality in five years. More than 10 years later, they are still largely in the pilot phase, but a drone final mile is becoming a reality fast for some parts of the company.

As the FAA reduces restrictions on drone deliveries in places like the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, they are kicking off a race to make drone deliveries realistic, affordable, and available to consumers, bringing small items to consumers in 30 minutes or less. Companies like Amazon and Walmart are now locked in a race to incorporate drones in their consumer delivery supply chain.

In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks at the current state of innovation and experimentation in drone final mile delivery:

  • The number one roadblock preventing this futuristic delivery method from achieving scale
