Introducing Project Wing

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Published on 28 Aug 2014
Project Wing is a Google[x] project that is developing a delivery system that uses self-flying vehicles. As part of our research, we built a vehicle and traveled to Queensland, Australia for some test flights. There, we successfully delivered a first aid kit, candy bars, dog treats, and water to a couple of Australian farmers. We’re only just beginning to develop the technology to make a safe delivery system possible, but we think that there’s tremendous potential to transport goods more quickly, safely and efficiently.

It won't be long before it just writes out the 739 in the office and doesn't bother taking the packet out.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It will have to try a neighbour before giving up, and do some lapsing on the way back....
