Amazon has been issued a patent for drones that can recognise human gestures when delivering packages. Customers will be able to change the trajectory and speed of the drone through voice and arm movements. U.S. based Prime members will have access to drone delivery in 2019 once safety measures have been completed, but at least 10 FAA-approved pilot schemes have been planned for the start of May. Gur Kimchi, the Vice President of Amazon Prime Air, is positive they will receive the green light by a few months.
