Amazon’s Prime Air drones will expand to almost 500 U.S. cities and towns this year, marking a rollout 13 years after the concept was first presented on 60 Minutes. The episode also includes a tour of Anduril’s unmarked office in Bellevue, Washington, where the company’s operations are being examined. Additionally, a reporter’s AirTag traced a hidden Amazon site that disassembles and digitizes old books. These segments illustrate the breadth of new delivery technology, a growing defense‑tech presence in Seattle, and Amazon’s ongoing book‑scanning efforts.
