DoorDash is piloting drone deliveries with Wing in Australia

Alphabet's Wing division has teamed up with DoorDash to deliver some convenience and grocery items -- such as pantry staples, snacks and household essentials -- by drone. Customers can place an order through the "DoorDash Air" section of the DoorDash app and receive their items in as little as 15 minutes. When they check out, users will need to select a delivery spot for the drone to drop off their package. The DoorDash app will ask them to confirm that the drop zone is clear before the user completes the order. The pilot is live in Logan, Australia, where Wing has been testing its services for a few years.
