Deutsche Post used a drone to deliver a package for the
first time on Monday, flying a box from a pharmacy across the Rhine just a week
after Amazon carried off a similar stunt.
Deutsche Post dubbed its yellow drone the Paketkopter and
said it carried medicine from a pharmacist in Bonn across the Rhine to its own
head office.
“We are at the beginning of the research project,” said DHL
manager Ole Nordhoff. “It is an exciting bit of technology.”
