Alphabet’s drone delivery service Wing newly started in Logan, Queensland, Australia, began to attempt to use drones from the home of a shopping mall to “direct” goods to nearby areas. It is informed that the subsidiary combined with the Australian retail real estate group Vicinity Centres to test this new model in Logan’s Grand Plaza.
After mid-August, Wing has been flying its drones on the roof of the Grand Plaza to provide sushi, bubble tea, smoothies, and other products to shopping mall merchants. Starting today, these drones will also fulfill over-the-counter drugs and personal care, and beauty products.
