Amazon.com Inc. has shifted staff working on its Paris-based drone research and development center to new projects, marking another set-back in the company’s delivery project.

The dozen-strong team, which previously focused on drone navigation, were reassigned to new roles in Amazon from September 2020 onwards, primarily focusing on Covid-testing software, according to job profiles on LinkedIn.
