Comment
JD’s drone delivery in China is a step forward for the logistics industry, which highlights China’s progress in business innovation. At the same time, the GPS on drone can set no-fly zone or restricted area, which can control the flight of drone strictly. Of course, drone delivery service is just a small step forward and needs more advanced innovative technologies for support in the future.(by Li Qian)
