Any pics? How big is this drone? And how much can it haul?  Or is this alternate news?

The era of political correctness is on the way out. I think you mean "Fake News".

I had read about this a few months ago.
The plan was to have a truck go sit one place in a neighborhood and the drone, or drones, would make deliveries to homes in that particular area.
Time marches on.

I predict in the future we will see Workhorse's drone delivery combined with driverless vehicles for many of our purchases. Technology in these fields is moving very fast. Pittsburgh is one of the hubs for driverless vehicles and robotics innovation.
My wife's a shopper. I know she would not be interested in clicking on a item and and having it delivered, to the front door, 10 minutes later.

Just what we all need... drones from Amazon, Best Buy, Safeway, UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc, fighting each other for access to our front doors. Good for 'shop-lifters' though... by-pass store security and just follow the drones!
Drones for commercial camera work seems okay to me, but do I want these things buzzing around my city and neighborhood so I can get a faster delivery? No. Funny... we are putting mom and pop stores and big-box stores out of business due to the desire for lower pricing but want drone delivery so we don't have to wait since we no longer want to actually drive to the stores.
