Google and Innovation update. 

Google – is a subsidiary of – Alphabet: which has many divisions working on global innovations.

One of these is Wings.

Wings is one of the first on-demand drone delivery services.

From January 1 to March 1 of this year, Wing performed 30,000 flights, and last year, it delivered more than 100,000 packages worldwide — most of them occurring in Australia, reports Axios.

The drones deliver

• health and wellness products,
• pet medication,
• first aid kits,
• ice creams—- on demand.
• The drone’s maximum carry weight is 2.6lbs.

How it works: 

• a pickup occurs in the business’s car park.
• the drone flying from its charging station hovers at about 30 metres lower its delivery pod hook.
• an employee attaches the delivery pod.
• the drone follows its flight route, automatically unclipping the delivery pod from its hook when it reaches a customer’s yard.
• no humans – the drone decides where to lower the package, its flightpath, back and forth to its charge pad.
• trained pilots oversee a group of drones – if anything goes wrong, the pilot intervenes.

Wing is focused on achieving

• faster delivery times
• for less cost
• reducing climate emergency impacts of continuing use of fossil fuel delivery vehicles.

It is the start. 

Alphabet will provide an autonomous global fleet to deliver humans and products.

As important as Google is today for search – Alphabet and its divisions wish to be known for delivery.

• driverless vehicles,
• VTOLs – (quadcopters for humans)
• small, medium and large delivery drones

The race is on – how fast can order can be delivered.

• Groceries within 30 minutes?
• Stationary?
• Clothing?

Since the pandemic, the rate of change has doubled for most businesses.
