Amazon Prime Air received FAA approval for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights in College Station, Texas.

This approval allows Amazon to expand its drone delivery operations in densely populated areas.

The company will utilize technology to detect and avoid obstacles in the air.

Amazon aims to deliver 500 million packages annually by drone by the end of the decade.

The Washington State Department of Transportation will use drones to combat graffiti on highways.

This demonstrates the increasing commercial applications of drone technology.
