Is Amazon's Drone Delivery Finally Ready for Prime Time?

Listen Later

This week, we took a field trip to the Phoenix suburbs to see Amazon’s newest iteration of drone delivery service in action. We toured the facility where these drones are in operation, spoke with the vice president and general manager of Prime Air, David Carbon, and watched from a local backyard as our own order dropped from the sky.

Guest:

  • David Carbon, vice president and general manager of Amazon Prime Air.
