Drone Deliveries From Alphabet's Wing to Take Flight Around Dallas

From PC Mag: Starting Thursday, some Dallas-area shoppers will gain a no-roads-required option for getting certain household products delivered: drones operated by Wing, a subsidiary of Google’s parent firm Alphabet.

The company announced the news Monday in an email newsletter. “Wing is finally set to launch the first ever commercial drone delivery service in a major US metropolitan area in just three days, on Thursday, April 7,” CEO Adam Woodworth wrote.

Service will commence in two northern suburbs of Dallas—Frisco and Little Elm—and feature deliveries of “health and wellness products,” from Walgreens, Woodworth wrote. Wing will also transport ice cream from Blue Bell Creameries (which he assured “will stay frozen on those hot Texas summer days!”), pet medicines from easyvet, and Texas Health first-aid kits.
