It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show where our mission is to serve

For years I've talked about delivery drones, driverless cars, robots.

Well this stuff is for real now.

And later the rules on inheriting a traditional IRA have changed to be really, really ugly.

I need to explain them in short form because if I explain too much you'll just fall asleep

just to let you know a better way for you to have money that's hanging around that maybe

loved ones will inherit someday.

So Walmart just announced that their experiment with drone delivery has not fallen on its

face.

It's been so far a tremendous success.

So their delivery by drone is called drone up and the whole idea is to do deliveries where

they can be done in a hurry things that are up to 10 pounds and it's now going to be offered

in six states.

Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

And they're now in a position to deliver.

There's a tiny fraction obviously their deliveries.

But the goal is in these six states to deliver a million packages a year this way is they

continue to ramp up the express delivery.

And so the design of it is you know how they'll have employees running around Walmart store

collecting items for people to do grocery pickup or delivery.

Well, same kind of idea.
