Get ready for the future! Alphabet's subsidiary, Wing, is set to revolutionise delivery in Victoria with lightweight styrofoam drones. An expansion that puts Melbourne's eastern suburbs on the forefront of technological innovations, with 250,000 residents near Eastland Shopping Centre in Ringwood soon to be able to access this service.
While some might find the notion of a drone delivering your dinner or daytime smoothie outlandish, Australia proves it's ready to lead this technological charge. Jesse Suskin, Wing’s head of policy, confirmed Australia's conducive environment for drones, with its technological, commercial, and regulatory framework.
For those residing within a seven-kilometre radius of Eastland Shopping Centre, a small drone will soar 70 metres into the sky with your order before gently lowering it via a tether from seven metres. Prepare to be amazed, Melburnians, as drone delivery will soon be a standard part of life.
