For the past couple of years,
Google has been working on a fleet of delivery drones in their secret base
located at Australia. Like Amazon, they are trying to build aerial drones that will
deliver merchandise to the customers. “Project Wing” is the name of this
project, and it is supposed to take action in the upcoming years. Test flights
have been happening for the past months, and the drone was able to carry and deliver
first aid kits, candy bars, dog treats, and also water. Nick Roy and his team
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been working on this project for
over two years and have been perfecting this drone to be the absolute best it
can. Through this experiment, Google hopes to makes things easy and convenient
for its customer. They hope to get customers their products as quick as they
can. Google already provides same day shipping in places such as New York, Los
Angeles, and San Francisco Bay Area. They hope that they can add more places to
their list with the help of this aerial drone. Although, Google may not be able
to succeed due to the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration. It is not
allowing drones to be used for commercial use. Google hopes that throughout
these years they will change their laws.
The
people of the world should be aware of what is happening and what is going to
happen. No person would like to wake up one day seeing drones fly above their
house. They would also be happy not having to wait days or maybe weeks for
their orders to arrive. No matter what the people think of it, change will
happen.
