The decision, coupled with the new federal approval process, could pave the way for other companies interested in drone delivery.
The Federal Aviation Administration told Amazon this week that it will be free to research and develop drone technology under certain restrictions.

This year's exemption allowed Amazon to advance plans to ship small packages with drones.
The company hopes that shortening the wait time between orders and deliveries will encourage consumers to buy more goods online.
The latest exemption period for the FAA is two years.
Amazon is not the only company that dreams of delivering a drone.
From beer to pizza to tacos, drone delivery can be used in many industries.
That's why Amazon's exemption is so important and why the new plan for the FAA to simplify the exemption request could open the door for many drone delivery operations.
Now that Amazon has been approved for drone delivery research and development, others who wish to do so may be dealt with quickly during the summary authorization process.
But Les Dorr, a FAA spokesman, said each application would be evaluated separately. —Brian FungU. S.
