Walgreens and FedEx partners with Alphabet Inc.’s Wing to begin a first-of-its-kind drone delivery service in October.
Amazon.com Inc. has unveiled a revolutionary new drone — part helicopter and part science-fiction aircraft — that the company expects to use for test deliveries of toothpaste and other household goods starting within months.
The demonstration project is being conducted near the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg and is associated with the Mid-Atlantic Partnership, one of the groups selected by the U.S. government as testing entities for drone commerce. While demand grows for the use of drones to deliver goods and perform many industrial functions, the Federal Aviation Administration is still in the process of developing regulations to govern them.
