Do you want sushi by drone? Ice cream or coffee in 2 minutes? Wing is Google's drone division (OK, Alphabet's!) and is doing just that right now in three locations around the world.
They're planning to scale globally and in the U.S., but are working out all the kinks and regulatory permissions. And they just announced some exciting news: first of its kind rooftop drone stations at a mall.
You order on an app, a retailer preps your item, attaches it to a drone, and it flies to you at 110 km/hour.
In this edition of TechFirst, we're chatting with Jonathan Bass, Wing’s head of marketing and communications.
