FAA Clarifies That Amazon Drones Are Illegal

Amazon.com drones aren't taking off anytime soon — at least not until the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says otherwise. On Monday, in a document inviting public comment on drone policy, the FAA clarified that delivering packages using a drone isn't legal. The agency didn't mention Amazon in the document specifically, but the FAA seemed to suggest that Amazon — like every other business — falls under its regulations which, it says, already prohibits the commercial use of drones.
