“Search giant Google has announced a date for the launch of its drone delivery service. Called Project Wing, the initiative aims to be delivering goods to consumers using the robot aircraft sometime in 2017. Online retailers such as Amazon, Alibaba and others are also experimenting with drone delivery. No details have been given about what type of drones Google might use for the service nor what type of packages they will be delivering. Details about Project Wing emerged in 2014. Initially it was run inside Google X – the firm’s secretive research lab. It is now believed to be under the control of Alphabet – the parent company that the former divisions of Google now operate under.”
