Our biggest story this week is about drone deliveries. While much has been written about Amazon's foray into drone deliveries, it seems that competitor, Walmart is gaining more traction in this space. Drone enthusiasts will be excited to learn that Walmart recently invested in drone delivery service provider, DroneUP for making last-mile deliveries. While this development is certainly encouraging, it seems that companies in the US are lagging behind other countries as far as innovation is concerned. This serves as a good segue to our next story - which is about UK's Catapult Project. You will learn about this pilot project implemented by the UK for drone remote-id. And why their approach is far better compared to the US. Towards the end of the show, we share some great Amazon Prime Day deals for drone pilots. You surely do not want to miss this one. Enjoy!
