Postal Service Drones?

Amazon is not the only outfit considering package delivery by drone. So is the Postal Service. Federal Times reports, it's narrowed the range of companies it will let submit bids for a new fleet of delivery trucks. Many familiar names make the list, including Ford, AM General, Fiat-Chrysler and Nissan North America. Also on the list is Workhorse, a manufacturer of chassis for many familiar delivery trucks. It's bidding an all-electric panel truck with a drone launcher on top. The company developed the flying device, dubbed Housefly, in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati. The idea is for the delivery person to handle small mail on a given route while the drone handles the packages.
