  “Amazon is targeting 500 million drone deliveries a year by end of the decade”

  500M deliveries/year is an aspirational target. Amazon Prime Air is currently available in 9 US locations as of 2026. Reaching 500M/year would require massive scale-up. No evidence of progress toward this rate. https://ppc.land/amazon-now-launches-30-minute-grocery-delivery-across-u-s-cities/
