Drones seem to be able to do it all. In fact, check package delivery off the list of drone capabilities.

As seen in the video below and a Digital Trends video and report, the Google delivery-drone project has gotten off the ground, right here in the Valley. At a Google event in Arizona Oct. 18, a drone dropped off a small package a short distance away, but still, it’s a start.

Digital Trends says there should be an update by the end of the year as to how this Project Wing project is advancing.

We want to hear from you.
