Wing, a drone delivery company owned by Google parent Alphabet, is running a pilot program in Logan, Australia, to transport groceries and other goods through DoorDash.
… When using the DoorDash app, customers can set up a drone delivery spot in their yard. Wing said deliveries are expected to take 15 minutes or less. The service will be available to a small number of households and will slowly expand in the coming months.
… Companies such as Walmart and Amazon have introduced drone delivery pilot programs in the U.S. Walgreens partnered with Wing last year to deliver small packages in Dallas. Shipments of drones are predicted to reach 2.4 million in 2023.
