New Amazon Patent Reveals Details of Possible Drone Delivery Location Verification System

An Amazon patent recently published online entitled “Drone Marker and Landing Zone Verification” reveals the system

the company might use both for guiding delivery drones to their destination and for verifying that the location where a delivery is made is the correct one.

The patent was first filed in 2016 but approval for it was apparently not granted to Amazon until just a few weeks back, on February 5th.

The system described in the patent looks like it would be able to recognize landmarks at a package recipient’s address, which could help verify the recipient’s location.
