Walmart has announced it's planning to expand its dronedelivery network to 34 new locations, eventually reaching four million households.
Walmart first revealed its interest in drone delivery five years ago. Since then it’s been conducting a number of pilot schemes, its most recent one close to its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The retail giant said the move gives it the potential to reach four million U.S. households across its new locations and could see it deliver as many as one million packages by drone each year. However, with the aircraft only flying to customer addresses up to 1.5 miles from each store, it may be a while before those numbers are fully realized.
“After completing hundreds of deliveries within a matter of months across our existing DroneUp hubs, we’ve seen firsthand how drones can offer customers a practical solution for getting certain items, fast,” Walmart said in a release.
