Amazon plans to launch a drone delivery service in Westborough, Massachusetts, using MK30 drones to deliver packages within a 7.5-mile radius, but local residents are pushing back due to concerns about noise, privacy, and safety. The Federal Aviation Administration controls airspace regulation, limiting local authorities' control over the operation.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Amazon's drone delivery push in Massachusetts forces you to reckon with FAA-controlled airspace that limits local pushback, so plan your logistics tech strategy assuming rapid expansion despite community opposition.
