Alphabet’s Wing begins first Stateside commercial drone deliveries
Alphabet spin off Wing has officially launched the USA’s first commercial drone delivery flight, beating out such competitors as Amazon.
It is working on a pilot in Christiansburg, Virginia, as reported by RTIH last month and has partnered on this with Walgreens, FedEx and local gift shop Sugar Magnolia..
The first Walgreens customers ordered cough and cold medicine. Susie Sensmeier, 81, said she had doubted such technology would "come in my lifetime".
"I'm thrilled," she said after a drone delivering a purple winter vest from Dicks Sporting Goods landed in her front garden.
