Walmart is adding Wing drone deliveries to limited Superstores this year2023-08-24 18:56 by DanielaTags: Walmart, Wing
Wing, the drone delivery company from Google parent company Alphabet, will begin deliveries in coming weeks from a Walmart Supercenter Frisco, Texas, and from a second nearby store later this year, the companies said Thursday. Customers can order products through the Wing app for Android or iPhone; typing in the home address will show if delivery is possible. The operations will extend about six miles from the Walmart store. Drone delivery has plenty of challenges: engineering, regulations, noise, cost, safety and public acceptance. But drone delivery is spreading to millions of people around the world as startups and tech giants work out the kinks. That means instant gratification for some products and less of a need for you or delivery vans to be on the streets. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, started testing out drone delivery in 2020. Since then, it's partnered with providers DroneUP, Zipline and Flytrex. With these partnerships, it's expanded its drone operation to 36 stores in seven states including Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia. Read more -here-
