Amazon.com Inc. shifted staff working on its Paris-based drone research and development center to new projects, Bloomberg reports.

The staff shift marks another setback in the company’s delivery project.

The dozen-strong team, which previously focused on drone navigation, was reassigned to new Amazon roles from September 2020 onward.

The team now mainly focuses on Covid-testing software, according to job profiles on Microsoft Corp. LinkedIn.
