Alphabet-owned drone delivery spin-out Wing is starting to service U.S. customers, after becoming the first drone delivery company to get the federal go-ahead to do so earlier this year. Alphabet(谷歌重组后的“伞形公司”)拥有的无人机快递公司Wing开始为美国消费者服务了,今年早些时候已成为第一个让美国提前开始此项服务的无人机快递公司。 Wing is working with FedEx Express and Walgreens on this pilot, and their first customers are Michael and Kelly Collver, who will get a “cough and cold pack,” which includes Tylenol, cough drops, facial tissues, Emergen-C and bottled water (do people who have colds need bottled water?). Wing的这一项目与联邦快递和沃尔格林公司合作,第一批顾客是Michael和Kelly Collver,他们将得到“咳嗽和感冒包裹”,包括泰诺、止咳药、面巾纸、Emergen-C和瓶装水(感冒的人需要瓶装水吗?) The Collvers are receiving their package in Christianburg, Va., which is where Wing and Walgreens will run this inaugural pilot of the drone delivery service. Collver一家人将在弗吉尼亚州Christianburg收到包裹,也是Wing和沃尔格林公司无人机快递服务的首个试点地区。 Walgreens gets a noteworthy credit in the bargain, becoming the first U.S. retailer to do a store-to-customer doorstep delivery via drone, while FedEx will be the first logistics provider to deliver an e-commerce drone delivery with a separate shipment. |
