Newly approved Alphabet-owned drones are set to deliver items including coffee and ice cream to homes in Canberra, Australia.
The Alphabet startup Wing has secured approval for one of the world's first drone delivery services.

A CASA spokesman confirmed to Business Insider that the agency had approved the delivery service and said it was"very likely" to be a world first.
Wing has been piloting the Canberra project for about 18 months, completing 3,000 deliveries. On its official launch, the service is expected to be available to a confined number of homes in the Canberra area before gradually expanding. CASA said 100 homes would be eligible initially.
