The fact that "Amazon photographed the concept movie abroad" itself represents a slow response of the US government to the drone.

Regarding relaxation of criteria and deregulation of drawn into the US airspace which FAA has publishedRoadmapAnd itsProposed planAccording to the FAA, the FAA is adjusting the drone to be able to fly around the American sky, but it is quite a severe situation that "a small size drone will be able to fly in the US domestic sky by 2015". Also, it is expected that private companies will be able to fly drones further than 2015, Amazon's plan to launch Amazon Prime Air service in 2015 will be pretty tough at the moment It is. In addition, under the current rule, you can skip drone in the country only when you get special approval from FAA and people who fly in play.
