Amazon's drone delivery patents published

You won't even need to go to your door to receive a package if Amazon's plans for drone deliveries come to fruition.

The online retail giant's patents for parcel delivery by UAV have just been published by the US patent office, yielding a few new details on how the system will operate.

Drones will use data from your smartphone to work out your exact location and take your parcel right there. Different drones will also be able to communicate between each other to discuss traffic and weather conditions.
