Google parent company Alphabet sad Wednesday that it’s using its Wing drones to deliver food and medicine during the coronavirus pandemic. Alphabet’s Wing subsidiary said it’s seen a “dramatic” increase in customers using the service, with more than 1,000 deliveries completed in the last two weeks while people face lockdowns nationwide.
Project Wing was first unveiled by Google in 2014, with the drone delivery service certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration at the end of last year.
Wing said it’s seeing customers in the US order health and wellness items from Walgreens, including medicine, toothpaste and toilet paper, and groceries like pasta, canned foods, fruit cups and baby food.
