Alphabet's wing tests drone deliveries from shopping center roof in Australia

Alphabet, a subsidiary of slot Wing, has launched a pilot program that will have drones fly products from the roofs of shopping centers. Indeed, the project has already begun in Logan's largest market. Australia The subsidiary has teamed up with Australian retail conglomerate Vicinity Centers to test a new model at Logan's Grand Plaza, where Wing's drones deliver orders to customers from the business directly below the launch platform.

Wing has been operating in Logan for the past two years. But until now, businesses have had to work together to find their products at the company's delivery locations. For the first time, a subsidiary has operated deliveries from an existing location at participating stores. Instead, Wing has flown a drone from the rooftop of Grand Plaza since mid-August, delivering sushi, bubble tea, smoothies and Other products from merchants in shopping centers from today onwards

Drones will deliver over-the-counter medicines and personal care and beauty products.Within the first six weeks of operations from Grand Plaza, Wing's drones had delivered 2,500 items to several Logan suburbs. Jesse Suskin, Wing's head of policy and community affairs in Australia, also said that if the Grand Plaza pilot is successful,

the company could "launch a similar model in other locations." in the retail segment of Vicinity CentersAlthough it is still known whether Grand Plaza pilots will lead to rooftop deliveries from other nearby locations, Wing has been quite successful in Logan. This year alone, it has delivered more than 50,000 deliveries in the city and celebrated 100,000 deliveries last August.
