Walmart Testing Drones For Deliveries In North Carolina City

Walmart launched a pilot program Wednesday using drones to deliver groceries and household essentials in a North Carolina city. The retail giant is using drones from Flytrex in Fayetteville, where it says it hopes to gain insight into customers' and its workers' experience with the technology.

Last week, Amazon won regulatory approval to deliver packages by drone but didn't say when they could be used to deliver goods to shoppers on a large scale.
