Drones are Delivering Tea in China

Hey, DHL: You're Not the Only One Who Can Bring Drone-Based Delivery to Honest-to-Goodness Customers. Alibaba's Online Marketplace, Taobao, is Running a Real-World Test that Lets 450 People in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, Order Ginger Tea and Receive it from a UAV in Less than an Hour. The Service will Only be Available from February 4 through February 6 but, it'll Represent One of the 1st Practical Instances of Delivery-by-Drone in Major Urban Areas. Sadly, you probably Won't See Something like this Happen in the US for a while -- Companies like Amazon are Threatening to Take their Drone Tests Abroad because, of Government Restrictions.
