Google reveals Project Wing, its secret drone-delivery program
The project is being developed at Google X, the company's secret research lab also in charge of Google Glass and Project Loon.
Project Wing was originally conceived as a way to deliver defibrillators to aid people who had suffered heart attacks, but since that involved integration with 911 and emergency services, Google realized that it would eliminate the speed advantage they thought it could deliver.
The company is currently focusing on disaster relief scenarios, for example, after earthquakes, floods, or extreme weather events.
Meanwhile, the company has been testing these drones in Australia, delivering packages to remote farms in Queensland. Below is a video of the project.
