Inside Jeff Bezos' delivery drone dreams: With fake team names, changing leaders and delays, Amazon Prime Air is fighting to finally take off

some people inside the company laughed, baffled by what struck them as an absurdly premature pronouncement.

Business Insider spoke to more than a dozen current and former Amazon employees close to the company's drone program to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the futuristic project. People close to the team say Kimchi was pushed out after failing to move faster with Prime Air's launch. Kimchi currently has zero direct reports and recently took a leave of absence.While Kimchi's technical acumen was instrumental to Prime Air's development so far, he's had a reputation of failing to prioritize, often spending time on less urgent matters.

"While today we are still working through many of the details associated with our service launch and how we will structure to achieve it, we will not stop or reduce our focus on research, science, development, and product design," Carbon wrote. The Prime Air team has long maintained a startup-like environment that keeps a cultural distance and secrecy from Amazon's corporate headquarters.

The drone Amazon used for its first public delivery in the UK in 2016 was nicknamed the "Flying Lawnmower."Every commercial drone delivery service in the US needs permission by the FAA. That approval comes with a bunch of different restrictions, but the two most important requirements are having "line-of-sight," or eyes on the ground at all times when the drone is flying, and not flying over crowds.
