Drone delivery is one of the business ideas that suddenly makes a lot more sense in the age of the coronavirus, but that doesn’t mean you can get pizza airlifted to your home yet. In a few limited ways, operators are stepping in to help businesses limit human-to-human contact for deliveries.
Bloomberg reported recently that Wing, Alphabet’s drone delivery service, is seeing a big uptick in orders in the Christiansburg, Virginia, pilot program that it’s been running since the fall. Wing works with FedEx and Walgreens to deliver household essentials and has also added a local bakery and coffee shop to expand offerings during the pandemic.
