It’s a Christmas miracle! The first Amazon drone delivery is history.

“Prime Air” made its first delivery on Dec. 7 in the Cambridge area of England with a fully autonomous drone in just 13 minutes from click to delivery.

How did it work?

A guy named Richard B. ordered Amazon Fire TV (shocker) and some popcorn on a tablet, and a “Prime Air fulfillment center” just around the corner from his house received the order. A person boxed the items up and attached the package to the drone, which went down an automated track and then lifted off to make the delivery.

Amazon drones operate on their own, flying below 400 feet and carrying packages weighing 5 pounds or less. A GPS helps guide them to the delivery destination. That’s what happened here.

See for yourself.

So when can you sign up to have some Doritos delivered by air? Not so fast.

The experiment is working with just two customers for now, but says it will slowly expand to other residences in that same area before expanding to other cities and other countries.

But would we even like to see this come to the United States? Reaction to the news is all over the place.
