Drones For Package Delivery

Swiggy's drone partner has received final clearances from the government to commence trials. It will be testing both food and medical package deliveries in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in the next several weeks.

Wing, the drone company that is part of Google parent Alphabet, on Thursday said it will launch a drone delivery pilot program with FedEx and Walgreens in the southwest Virginia town of Christiansburg next month.

Amazon.com Inc is exploring using drones not just to deliver packages but also to provide surveillance as a service to its customers, according to a patent granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Amazon has said it expects to begin large-scale deliveries by drone in the coming months as it unveiled its newest design for its Prime Air fleet.

A video posted by Amazon shows a fully autonomous drone, no humans involved, taking off from the warehouse and flying over fields to deposit the package just outside the customer's home.

Friday saw the first fully autonomous urban drone delivery in the US.

A patent filed Tuesday in the United States by the company describes a "delivery receptacle" designed to take packages from an "aerial delivery device" for deposit to a secure location.

Amazon has unveiled what its unmanned drones for package delivery would look like with a video launched on Sunday on the prototype of technology it announced two years ago

Internet giant Alphabet Inc, the new holding company for Google, expects to begin delivering packages to consumers via drones sometime in 2017, the executive in charge of its drone effort said on Monday.

By now the next bright idea from Jeff Bezos - that tiny drones will one day be whizzing overhead and dropping Amazon packages at America's doorsteps - has gone through a few turns of the spin cycle. For many, it sounds like a sci-fi fantasy wrapped in public relations hype, or a total nightmare. Maybe both.
