After years of development, Amazon announced it will finally begin delivering products by drone in the small San Joaquin County town of Lockeford, and residents there are only beginning to imagine the future.
Call it a pilot program without the pilot. Amazon Prime Air will soon begin autonomous delivery of packages, up to 5 pounds, to people's backyards using a large 5-foot-diameter drone. It will be in Lockeford, population 3,200, that the future will begin.
Before Amazon, the town's claim to fame was Lockeford Meats, where people stand in long lines to buy dozens of different styles of handmade sausage. Owner Pete Pettersen doesn't see a day when his products will be delivered by drone. But Pettersen thinks they may simply want to give their current drivers a break from the perils of rural deliveries.
